·         The reflexive pronoun can be either a direct or an indirect object of the verb with which it is used.

·         In the Passé Composé, when the reflexive pronoun is a direct object of the verb, the past participle must agree in number and gender with that reflexive pronoun. (By extension, the past participle also agrees with the subject, which is of course the same person or thing to which the reflexive pronoun refers.)

·         Elle s’est baignée. She got (herself) bathed.  (She took a bath.)

·         Nous nous sommes habillés. We got (ourselves) dressed.

·         Elles se sont déshabillées. They (feminine) got (themselves) undressed.

·         When the reflexive pronoun is an indirect object, the past participle doesn’t change.  In this instance, it’s helpful to think of the reflexive pronoun as meaning “FOR oneself” or “OF oneself”.

·         Elle s’est brossé les cheveux. She brushed her hair (the hair OF herself).

·         Ils se sont acheté un chien. They bought themselves a dog.  (They bought a dog FOR themselves.)

·         Here are some other tips for figuring out whether the reflexive pronoun is direct or indirect:

·         (a) With most reflexive verbs that aren’t followed by a noun, the reflexive pronoun is the direct object. For these verbs, the past participle must agree with the reflexive pronoun.

·         Suzanne s’est endormie. Suzanne fell asleep.

·         Vous vous êtes amusés. You all had fun.

·         Elles se sont blessées. They hurt themselves. (They got hurt.)

·         (b) When a reflexive verb is followed by a preposition + a noun, the reflexive pronoun is the direct object, so the past participle must agree with that reflexive pronoun.

·         Édith s’est échappée du bâtiment. Édith escaped from the building.

·         Les étudiants se sont inquiétés de l’examen. The students worried about the exam.

·         (c) When a noun directly follows a reflexive verb with no preposition in between, the reflexive pronoun is indirect; in this case, the past participle does not change its ending.

·         Elle s’est acheté une nouvelle jupe. She bought herself a new skirt. (She bought a new skirt FOR herself.)

·         Elles se sont lavé le visage. They washed their faces.

·         (d) In a sentence with a reflexive verb and a direct object pronoun, the reflexive pronoun is always the indirect object, so the past participle does not agree with the reflexive pronoun.  BUT, the past participle must agree with the direct object pronoun, in keeping with the rules for direct object pronoun agreement.

·         Il s’est acheté le journal. He bought himself the newspaper. (“Newspaper” is masculine.)

·         Il se l’est acheté. He bought it (the newspaper).

·         BUT:

·         Il s’est acheté la revue. He bought himself the magazine. (“Revue” is feminine.)

·         Il se l’est achetée. He bought it (the magazine).

·         (e) The reflexive pronoun for the following verbs is always an indirect object, so the past participle remains unchanged (unless there is also a direct object pronoun in the sentence, as seen in (d) above):

·         s’acheter : to buy (for) oneself

·         se demander : to wonder

·         se dire : to say (to oneself)

·         se faire mal : to hurt oneself

·         s’imaginer : to imagine, to think

·         se parler : to talk (to oneself)

·         se plaire (à faire…) : to enjoy (doing…)

·         se procurer : to obtain (for oneself)

·         se promettre : to promise (oneself)

·         se rendre compte de: to realize

·         se reprocher : to criticize, to blame (oneself)

·         se rire (de qqun) : to mock (someone)

·         (f) The reflexive pronoun for the following reciprocal reflexive verbs is also always an indirect object, so the past participle remains unchanged (unless there is also a direct object pronoun in the sentence, as seen in (d) above):

·         se dire : to say (to each other)

·         se donner : to give (to each other)

·         s’écrire : to write (to each other)

·         se parler : to talk (to each other)

·         se promettre : to promise (each other)

·         se raconter: to tell (each other)

·         se rendre visit : to visit (each other)

·         se reprocher : to criticize, to blame (each other)

·         se ressembler : to resemble (each other)
