Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

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 déteste m'ennuyer.
The reflexive pronoun has to agree with the subject.
Ennuyer is a transitive verb so you have to specify the object of the verb or else the sentence won't be complete.

So when the object happens to be the same person as the subject, you use the reflexive verb.

When im talking abt myself do i use m’

What’s the reflexive pronoun is the the m’

[tropic pasture]

je - me
tu - te
il/elle/on - se
nous - nous
vous - vous
ils/elles - se

[tacit oxide]

How do you differentiate the two "se"s?

[forest remnant]

Short answer: context, background and situation

[tacit oxide]

I could've guessed, I just can't find that out myself, for example in Duolingo.

[forest remnant]

The reflexive pronouns in the 3rd person singular and plural are identical

[tropic pasture]

same as how you tell between il and ils, basically

[forest remnant]

It's the verb form that gives the difference

[tacit oxide]

I can't do that either. What is the difference between those?

[forest remnant]

They sound identical

[tropic pasture]

usually context, basically

[tacit oxide]

Broski idk what a reflexive pronoun is.

[tacit oxide]

I mean what is the "s" for?

[forest remnant]

Plural marker basically

[tropic pasture]

il = he (singular)
ils = they (plural)

[forest remnant]

il usually means he or it
ils usually means they

lawlessfrench

[tacit oxide]

• Glanville Price - A Comprehensive French Grammar
• Monique L'Huillier - Advanced French Grammar
• Malcolm Offord - A Student Grammar of French
• Hawkins & Towell - French Grammar and Usage
• Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen - The Structure of Modern Standard French

I'd recommend starting with a site like lawlessfrench as albatros mentioned, before moving to the books above because they can be quite dense

[tacit oxide]

Wow crazy, thanks!

[forest remnant]

emperor of france etc etc

[tacit oxide]

But you're a native french speaker, right?

[forest remnant]

[tacit oxide]

Oh, I looked at your role but expected otherwise so still asked.

[forest remnant]

[tacit oxide]

Well my issue is the following:

Caroline Marie Constance Napoléon is the only female ancestor of Bonaparte currently alive (1980). And well, I need to have to share the blood of the emperor with mine.
