Reflexive verbs
• To conjugate a reflexive verb in past tense:
SUBJECT+ REFLEXIVE PRONOUN+ AUXILIARY ETRE+ PAST PARTICIPLE
• What do we need to remember about verbs used with the auxiliary être in passé composé?
The past participle agrees with the subject.
Because reflexive verbs ALL use être as the auxiliary verb, the past participle of reflexive verbs agrees with the subject.
Ex: Elle s’est maquillée.
Ils se sont promenés.
