un verbe pronominal : a verb which is conjugated with a personal pronoun nom masculingrammaire
Il se lave tous les matins ; je me dipuste avec sa mère ; il se moque de moi.

se coucher (je me couche, il s'est couché), se laver (nous nous lavons, elles se sont lavées), etc.
un verbe essentiellement pronominal : a verb which can only be conjugated with a personal pronoun nom masculingrammaire
Unlike other pronominal verbs, les verbes essentiellement pronominaux do not have a form without a personal pronoun. Examples: se repentir (nous nous repentons), se suicider (ils se sont suicidés), s'évanouir (je me suis évanoui(e)). In other words, we can use the verb laver (to wash) without a pronoun, but we can't use the verb repentir without a pronoun.
  • "Alors par contre attention, hein : parfois se n’est ni COD ni COI, ça, c’est pour les verbes essentiellement pronominaux."
  • "Bon bah, avec les verbes pronominaux, on accorde le participe passé avec le pronom réfléchi…"
  • "Les verbes pronominaux, vous connaissez ?"
