français 2
Today we reviewed pouvoir & vouloir and talked about reflexive verbs. These are verbs preceded by "se" in the infinitive (se laver) and mean that one is doing the action to oneself. We got a handout from another book that lists some verbs on page 276.
The homework is to pick 4 verbs and draw them, one in the context of a reflexive verb (doing it to oneself) and one in the context of a non-reflexive verb.
Exemple: se laver (to wash oneself) v laver [la voiture] (to wash [the car])
or se réveiller (to wake up oneself) v réveiller ma soeur (to wake [my sister])
se promener (to go on a walk) v promener le chien (walk the dog)
