Reflexive verbs in French indicate an action that is done to oneself. Before the main part of the verb, a different word is added, depending on the person. However, this is the only difference, as these verbs still follow the standard patterns (-er, -ir and -re) This is shown below with the reflexive verb, se laver. The extra part, known as a reflexive pronoun has been highlighted in blue, and the endings in red.
