• In French, the compound forms of pronominal verbs consist of a reflexive pronoun (me, se, vous, etc.) a conjugated form of être as their auxiliary, and the past participle of the verb in question. The participle is inflected to accord with the gender and number of the subject if the verb is transitive in quality. E.g.:
  • Je me suis levé / levée ― (please add an English translation of this usage example)
  • Tu ne t'es pas levé / levée. ― (please add an English translation of this usage example)
