Bonjour , 👋
Youpiii - it's time to take your français to the next level - once you've done this course you have covered the present 'bloomin' perfect and come to grips with what tends to trip people up when talking about what they've done in their life!
Present Perfect with Être
The VIP verbs don't want to go with avoir, non, non, non, they're too special. They go with être. There are not many of these cliquey snobby verbs but, wouldn't ya know, they're used all the time in French!
Then there are the wannabe VIP verbs who can't just waltz in they have to have a special invite - these are the pronominal verbs that use the reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nous, vous, se). We use these sparingly in English but in French - they're bloomin' everywhere! You know the ones... S'appeler, Se promener, Se lever etc.
You'll be guided step-by-step to these verbs that make you sound like you're in the Shakespearian era! You'll get lifetime access to:

Bonjour ,
If you're new to le French - here come some fun and games with this BIG group of wannabe VIP Pronominal Verbs.
These verbs also use Être as their auxiliary but you will need to add an extra word.
The fancy word for this word is a pronoun.
A pronoun replaces a noun - saves you repeating yourself endlessly.
All will be revealed in the lessons.
Comme d'habitude (As usual) I will walk you through step-by-step in deliciously digestible bite-sized chucks.
Enjoy!
