2B.1-1
Use the auxiliary verb être with all reflexive verbs in the passé
composé, and place the reflexive pronoun before it.
If the verb is not followed by a direct object, the past participle
should agree with the subject in gender and number.

2B.1-2
If the verb is followed by a direct object, the past participle
should not agree with the subject. Use the masculine
singular form.
To make a reflexive verb negative in the passé composé,
place ne before the reflexive pronoun and pas after the
auxiliary verb.

Ask a question using inversion with a reflexive verb in the
passé composé as you would with non-reflexive verbs.
Place the subject pronoun after the auxiliary verb and
keep the reflexive pronoun before the auxiliary.
