Here is a list of common reciprocal verbs: • • • • • • • • • s'aimer to love each other se détester to hate each other se disputer to argue s'embrasser to kiss se parler to talk to each other se quitter to leave each other se regarder to look at each other se retrouver to meet each other se téléphoner to telephone each other • Vous vous parlez pendant le déjeuner. – You talk to each other during lunch. • Romeo et Juliette s’aiment. – Romeo and Juliette love each other. • Quand est-ce qu’on se revoit? – When will we see each other? • Nous nous téléphonons chaque soir. – We telephone (make a phone call to) each other every evening. • Elles se détestent. – They hate each other. • Il est interdit de s’embrasser en école. – It is forbidden to kiss each other in school. Reciprocal verbs in the passé composé • As with reflexive verbs, reciprocal verbs always use ETRE as the auxiliary verb. • Vous vous êtes parlé pendant le déjeuner. – You talked to each other during lunch. • Romeo et Juliette se sont aimés. – Romeo and Juliette loved each other. • Quand est-ce qu’on s’est revus? – When did we see each other? • Nous nous sommes téléphoné chaque soir. – We telephoned (made a phone call to) each other every evening. • Elles se sont détestées. – They hated each other.
