Key Concept

Reflexive Verbs
Notice that some of the reflexive verbs have other special circumstances. Some are irregular but for the most part they are regular verbs that simply have to be used with the reflexive pronouns. They are generally listed in dictionaries with the "se" in front of the verb. As such, they must be used reflexively.

se réveiller to wake up
se coucher to go to bed, to lie down
s'amuser to enjoy oneself, to have fun
s'habiller to dress onself

Remember that in order to add minutes to the time, we simply say the time as above and "dix," for example, for ten after the hour. There are special expressions for the quarter and half hours. Observe et écoute:

2:15 Il est deux heures et quart.
2:30 Il est deux heures et demie.
2:45 Il est trois heures moins le quart.
