Hi barfi21! In French, the equivalent of a reflexive pronoun is called a «pronominal verb». A sentence containing a pronominal verb contains two consecutive pronouns of the same person. The first is the subject and the second pronoun is the one which is part of the pronominal verb and which completes it. The pronouns used in a pronominal verb are as follows; 1. Je me demande or je m'entend bien 2. Il se regarde. 3. Nous nous aimons. 4. Ils se sont laissés or ils s'aiment. In your example, the translation of « Nous nous levons à huit heures » could also be: « We get ourselves up at 8am ». But, since the example you have did not translate the sentence with a reflexive pronoun in english, i don't think you are obligated to use one in your translation. However, if you want to also practice your reflexive pronouns in english : The reflexive pronouns in english are: 1st person singular : myself 2nd person singular: yourself 3rd person singular; Male : himself Female : herself Animal or Object: itself 1st person plural : ourselves 2nd person plural : yourselves 3rd person plural : themselves I will share with you our sheet in french on pronominal verbs:
