Is the verb s'appeler and appeler different? Is it correct to conjugate appeler as:
J'appelle
tu appelles
il appelle
nous appelons
vous appelez
ils appellent
You can use Verbix (it's a website) for the conjugation of verbs in any language.
Sorry I can't give you a clickable link because it's not allowed, but just add the ending to verbix.
S'appeler and appeler are indeed different...S'appeler means to be called (I am called, you are called, etc.) and appeler is to call ( I call, you call, etc) I can't remember off the top of my head, but those conjugations look correct to me. Remember though, with s'appeler, you need the reflexive part in there too (me, te, se, nous, vous, se)
Thanks everybody.

Yes, the verbs "s'appeler" and "appeler" are different. "Appeler" is a regular verb that means "to call," while "s'appeler" is a reflexive verb that means "to be called" or "to call oneself." When conjugated, both verbs have similar endings, but the prefix "s'" is added to "appeler" to form "s'appeler" in the reflexive form.
The conjugation you provided for "appeler" is correct:
- J'appelle (I call)
- Tu appelles (You call)
- Il appelle (He calls)
- Nous appelons (We call)
- Vous appelez (You call)
- Ils appellent (They call)
However, to conjugate "s'appeler," you need to include the reflexive pronoun "se" before the verb, and the reflexive pronoun changes according to the subject pronoun:
- Je m'appelle (I am called / I call myself)
- Tu t'appelles (You are called / You call yourself)
- Il s'appelle (He is called / He calls himself)
- Nous nous appelons (We are called / We call ourselves)
- Vous vous appelez (You are called / You call yourselves)
- Ils s'appellent (They are called / They call themselves)
