Bonjour Sue ! We don't have a lesson on this, but here is the difference: - To turn = Tourner "Tourne le ventilateur vers moi !" (Turn the fan towards me) - To turn (oneself) = Se tourner "Tourne-toi, je ne veux pas que tu me voies." (Turn around, I don't want you to see me.) I hope that's helpful! À bientôt !
