In French, reflexive verbs, such as s'habiller (to get dressed), se lever (to get up) etc, are very common. They conjugate in a special way.
Learn how to conjugate S'HABILLER (to get dressed) in Le Présent (Indicatif) in French
| je m'habille | I get dressed |
| tu t'habilles | you get dressed (one person you know well) |
| il/elle/on s'habille | he/she/we/one/people get dressed |
| nous nous habillons | we get dressed |

Notice that the se part of a reflexive verb also changes in each case.
NB: when the verb begins with a vowel or a silent 'h', me/te/se become m'/t'/s' .
Grammar jargon: the reflexive pronoun se in a reflexive verb agrees with the subject pronoun.
