20 French Regular verbs vs Reflexive verbs with different meanings | Never mix them up again

French regular and reflexive verbs are easy to understand when they have the same signification. Regular verbs have a general meaning, while reflexive verbs are all about the person.
But what happens when they don't have the same meaning at all? For example, REPOSER means "To put back" while SE REPOSER means "To rest". In this lesson, I give you 20 examples with sentences to never mix them up again!

Un énorme merci encore Dylane. I could see a relationship with the regular and reflexive verbs but I never realised they are actually different verbs. This has clarified it so much for me and makes it so much easier to understand. Merci, you have a unique ability to see and then unravel confusing French for us struggling students.

[mahakyaseri]

Thank you very much. Your teaching is direct and to the point. It is excellent. Thanks again.

[ramone]

Thank you for this good lesson and the explanation of differences between these verbs.

[seazephyrs]

Merci Dylane. C'est très utile. Ce sont tous des verbes courants que nous devons connaître. Il est surprenant de constater à quel point le sens change avec le verbe réfléchi. Merci encore.

[qalbiholcay]

Merciii beaucoup pour la video madam? Professeur ✋😘

[bobbyfirmanjaya]

Merci beaucoup Dylane. J'apprends beaucoup de choses de cette video. 🙂

[thorjohankristiansen]

This lesson was very useful for me. Often I get confused when the reflexive verbs have different meaning 😅

[gauchoh.m]

Thank you very much, Madam. It makes a lot of sense.

[forouhardana]

Oh my god, this lesson blew my mind!
I was always confused when seeing these reflexive verbs, and it felt like a puzzle in my mind. But now, I will memorize them by heart and try to use them too. Thank you so much, Dylane, I learn a lot from you! 😍 And I always recommend your channel to all my friends and people who are learning French.

[f.n.]

This had confused me quite a lot recently, but now I get it! 💡
As your videos are so helpful and clear, I decided to buy your book of short stories. Merci d'Écosse! 👏👏🙂

[Lesrevesdhiver]

I would not be comfortable taking a quiz on this just yet BUT it does explain well about why some verbs are reflexive or not. It is much more informative than a lot of videos I have seen about reflexive verbs.
Especially reposer VS se reposer. I used to think, "Yeah of course someone is going to se reposer, who else are they going "to rest" besides themselves?"
Thought I knew it all. 😄

[karanvirkohli]

Waited for this! Thanks dylane. Can you make a video when they are used in passive voice form? :)

[mutlugundiler]

Simplement excellente !
Just the explanation I have been waiting for.
Thank you so much.

[roshanvarughese]

Excellent video. I learnt a lot! Thank you Dylane
