 Daily Routine
Reflexive verbs in French
To describe daily routine, we use reflexive verbs
such as : "se réveiller" (to wake up), "se lever" (to
get up), "se laver" (to wash yourself) and "se
coucher" (to go to bed).
Je me réveille (I wake up)
Tu te réveilles (You wake up)
Il/elle se réveille (He/she/one wakes up)
Nous nous réveillons (We wake up)
Vous vous réveillez (You -plural/formal- wake up)
Ils/elles se réveillent (They -masculine/feminine-
wake up)

Faire (To do, make)

Similar to the reflexive verbs, the verb "faire" is a
very useful verb to talk about daily routine.
Je fais une balade.
I go for a walk.
Je fais des exercices.
I exercise.
Je fais un smoothie.
I make a smoothie.
