#3 Expressions using ‘SE SENTIR’ in French

Please remember, French usually do not say ‘I’m fine’ or ‘I’m well’. Instead you have to say ‘I feel well’.

For that, you need to use a reflexive verb. A reflexive verb is used with an extra pronoun, similar to saying ‘I feel well myself’…

Se sentir bien = I feel well/I’m fine/ such as je me sens bien/je ne me sens pas bien

Se sentir mal = I feel bad such as je me sens mal
