In French, reflexive verbs are used to state possession or to state that you are doi omething to yourself. In English, this is usually done with the words "myself" or "himself". Some example..... English: I wash my hands. French: Je me lave les mains. (I wash the hands of myself) English: He went to bed. French: Il se couche. (He put himself to bed)
