Reflexive verbs in French are just regular verbs, using the same verb endings, but you will add a pronoun (just like the myself/yourself etc. in English.)
Ex. in regular form: je lave la voiture (I wash the car)
Ex. in reflexive form: je me lave (I wash myself).
You'll need to know the pronoun which goes in between the person and the verb:
je me (verb) .... I (verb) myself
tu te (verb) .... I (verb) yourself
il se (verb), elle se (verb) .... He/She (verb) himself/herself
nous nous (verb) .... ourselves
vous vous (verb) .... yourselves
ils se (verb), elles se (verb) ... themselves
To conjugate reflexive verbs in the present tense in French, you add the reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nous, vous, se) before the verb and adjust the verb ending based on the subject. For example, "se laver" (to wash oneself) conjugates as "je me lave" (I wash myself), "tu te laves" (you wash yourself), "il/elle/on se lave" (he/she/one washes oneself), "nous nous lavons" (we wash ourselves), "vous vous lavez" (you wash yourselves), "ils/elles se lavent" (they wash themselves).
The present tense be verbs are -- am,is,are.
Imperative verbs are typically in the present tense, as they are used to give commands or instructions in the moment.
Past tense helping verbs (also known as auxiliary verbs) include "was," "were," "had," "did," and "would." Present tense helping verbs include "am," "is," "are," "have," and "do." These helping verbs are used with main verbs to form verb phrases in different tenses.
Present tense helping verbs include "am," "is," and "are," while past tense helping verbs include "was" and "were." These helping verbs are used in conjunction with main verbs to form verb tenses.
There are approximately 100 irregular avoir verbs in French. These verbs do not follow the regular conjugation pattern in the present tense and require memorization. Other regular verbs in French follow a more predictable conjugation pattern based on their infinitive endings.
In French, pronouns are used alongside verbs to indicate the subject of the sentence in the present tense. For example, "je" (I), "tu" (you), "il/elle" (he/she), "nous" (we), "vous" (you pl./formal), and "ils/elles" (they). These pronouns are placed before the verb in most cases, such as "je mange" (I eat) or "elle danse" (she dances).
The present tense be verbs are -- am,is,are.
Be verbs, present tense be verbs. I am He is/she is/it is
Past tense helping verbs (also known as auxiliary verbs) include "was," "were," "had," "did," and "would." Present tense helping verbs include "am," "is," "are," "have," and "do." These helping verbs are used with main verbs to form verb phrases in different tenses.
Imperative verbs are typically in the present tense, as they are used to give commands or instructions in the moment.
The word "it" does not have a present tense because it is not a verb. Only verbs have tenses.

Some present tense helping verbs include: am, is, are, do, does, don't, doesn't, have, has, had, can, could, shall, will, should, would, must, and might.
In English, there are only two verbs that are irregular in the present tense: to be (am/are/is/are/are/are) to have (have/have/*has*/have/have/have) The modal verbs follow a different pattern than regular verbs but are not technically "irregular": will shall must etc.
The three simple tenses of verbs are: present tense (action is happening now), past tense (action already happened), and future tense (action will happen). These tenses help indicate the timing of an action or event.
Generally, stative verbs (e.g., love, hate, want, need) are not commonly used with Present Perfect Progressive tense as they are not actions or processes that are ongoing or have a duration. Instead, stative verbs are better suited for Present Perfect or Simple Past tense.
