se sens vs va

Question

In a test I was asked to write: Patrick feels bad in this moment. I wrote Patrick se sens mal en ce moment. I was wrong because the answer was Patrick va mal... But is se sens not also correct?

Bonjour TL H.,
I have checked and both 'va mal' and 'se sent mal' are accepted, but I suspect your answer was marked wrong because it should be a -t at the end of 'sent' and not an -s which is the wrong form.

Je me sens = I feel
Tu te sens = you feel
Il se sent ---> Patrick se sent mal = He / Patrick feels bad

Let me know if you need further help with this conjugation.
En attendant, bonne continuation !
