Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
"je suis fatiguée" is the verb être + the adjective "fatiguée", there is no reflexive verb
In "je me fatiguée", you have a reflexive pronoun and a past participle, but no conjugated verb. This is something like saying "I lain myself" instead of "I lay myself", or "I eaten" instead of "I ate", it doesn't make sense
The passé composé, however, would be "je me suis fatiguée", I got tired/I tired myself/I have tired myself, as it is made up of an auxiliary verb (avoir or être - être in the case of reflexive verbs) + a past participle (like "eaten" in english)
Oh i get it now but can you tell me when to know to use either être or reflexive verb?
Wdym?
Like when to use an adjective or a verb?
I am tired vs I tire?
Uhm idek at this point 😭 both adjectives and verbs I guess
I mean, adjectives describe a noun
I am tall, I am tired, I am lonely
Verbs are actions, more or less
I eat, I run, I sleep
So.. just depends which one you mean
So reflexive verbs with verbs and être with adjectives?? But "bored" is an adjective that uses reflexive verb
Please help me out I'm so slow 😭
you have to disconnect the french words from their english translations
the same thing might be described by an adjective in english and a verb in french
reflexive (or pronominal) verbs always use être as their conjugated verb in the passé composé
