Questions & Answers about Moi, je réfléchis au problème.
Why does the sentence start with Moi, je instead of just Je?
What is the rule for the ending on réfléchis?
Réfléchir (to think/reflect) is a regular -ir verb. To form the je (I) version of these verbs in the present tense, you drop the -ir and add -is. This makes je réfléchis.
The translation says "about the", so why doesn't the French sentence use a word for "about"?
In English, we say "think about". But in French, the verb réfléchir is followed by the preposition à (to/at). You just have to memorize that French uses réfléchir à to mean "to think about" or "to reflect on".
Wait, if the preposition is à, where does au come from?
