DOP pronominal?

@toxic fog It's the first one here.

#

Assuming the person being woken up is male, else 'réveillée'.

The presence of an object pronoun doesn't change the auxiliary for a given verb. Pronominal verbs are an exception, they all use être instead of avoir.

#

Your sentence doesn't use a pronominal verb.

Right, I guess I was just getting a little confused on what a pronominal verb is

Almost like it's the bible of French grammar.

I think the part that confused me is "relating to a pronoun." because in my head te is a pronoun

When you do an action on yourself, the object pronoun matches the subject, that's why we get je me lève, tu te lèves, etc.

Whereas with 'je te réveille', they don't.

Hence: avoir.
