Why these -er verbs need to be put in different single lessons?

se laver; se lever; se réveiller; s'amuser etc.

these words doesn't have anything special, do they?

Why not put them in the same lesson?

Hi Jiamu,

In fact all these reflexive verbs, although they belong to the same group of regular verbs ending in -ER, have got particularities.

Se laver is quite straight forward.

Se lever and se réveiller include accents in some of the forms.

and s'amuser require the use of elision, so different again.

This might be very easy for you but for some students these difficulties are best split up in chunks.

Bonne Continuation!
