Reflexive verbs • To conjugate a reflexive verb in past tense: SUBJECT+ REFLEXIVE PRONOUN+ AUXILIARY ETRE+ PAST PARTICIPLE Ex: Je me suis promené(e) Attention! The past participle agrees with the subject (if there is no DO)

Agreement: • You will add agreement (masc/fem, sing/plural) to the past participle when the reflexive does not take a direct object: – EX: Je me suis lavée. (I am a girl) – BUT: Je me suis lavé les mains. (I washed my hands – hands is a direct object) / e s es

What is a direct object? • Direct objects are the people or things in a sentence which receive the action of the verb. • To find the direct object in a sentence, ask the question Who? or What? I see Pierre. Je vois Pierre. Who do I see? Pierre. I'm eating the bread Je mange le pain. What am I eating? - Bread.

EXCEPTIONS: • Some reflexive verbs are also REGULAR verbs (non-reflexive)– watch out! They are only reflexive when the action is performed upon the self. • EX: laver – elle s’est lavée; elle a lavé le chien (*If it’s part of your body, it’s reflexive)

NEGATIVES • When making a past tense reflexive NEGATIVE, follow this pattern: – Subject, NE, reflexive pronoun, form of être, PAS, past participle – EX: je ne me suis pas lavé (e)

Practice: • Qu’est-ce qu’ils ont fait ce matin?
