{30 minutes} Reflexive verbs in passé composé (p. 174)

• Reflexive verbs act like verbs of motion: they all take être in the past tense!
• One big difference from verbs of motion: the past participle agrees with the subject/reflexive pronoun only if there is not some other direct object (like the teeth being brushed, hair being combed, hands being washed) after the verb.
• Examples:
1. Male speaking: Je me suis levé.
2. Female speaking: Je me suis levée.
3. Tu t'es rasé?
4. Marion s'est lavée.
5. Marion s'est lavé les mains. ("The hands" are a direct object; participle does not change to feminine to agree with subject Marion.)
6. Nous nous sommes habillés.
7. Mes filles, vous vous êtes habillées? (extra e and s: feminine plural!)
8. Les garçons se sont couchés a 10 h.
9. Les filles se sont brossé les dents. ("The teeth" are direct object, so participle does not agree with subject.)
