Vocabulary
Objective: Describe a full day of personal routines in chronological order using reflexive verbs and time markers, and name common self-care products.
| Reflexive verb | English | Product | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| se laver | to wash | le savon | soap |
| se doucher | to shower | le gel douche | shower gel |
| se brosser les dents | to brush one's teeth | le dentifrice | toothpaste |
| se laver les cheveux | to wash one's hair | le shampooing | shampoo |
| se raser | to shave | le rasoir | razor |
| se maquiller | to put on makeup | le maquillage | makeup |
The reflexive pronoun precedes the verb, and the definite article les precedes the body part. A second me before the noun is never correct.
Dentifrice is toothpaste and pairs with the teeth, not the hair. The verb se brosser takes the body part as direct object, so the product must match the part.
The reflexive verbs se réveiller and se lever follow one another in a fixed chronological sequence.
Puis marks the sequence. The definite article les precedes the body part, not a possessive.
Prendre takes a direct object with no preposition. The meal name appears with the article le.
The verb se raser pairs with rasoir. The adjective électrique describes the type of razor.
Prendre introduces the break, and se reposer is reflexive. The two verbs appear in one sentence with different structures.

Maquillage is makeup, used with the verb se maquiller, while rasoir is the razor used with se raser. The product and the verb must correspond.
Heures takes the plural -s for every hour above one, so the singular heure appears only with une heure.
The reflexive pronoun se appears before each verb. The second verb se mettre takes the preposition en before the garment.
The reflexive pronoun nous precedes the verb, and the 24-hour clock is used for a precise bedtime.
The frequency marker tous les matins takes the plural noun. The definite article les precedes the body part.
