- all reflexives go with "être," which means they need an agreement, i.e. you need to add "e" if it's feminine, "s" if it's masculine plural, or "es" if it's feminine plural
- the auxiliary always goes right next to the verb (unless negative)
so:
je me suis levé(e) = I got up
tu t'es habillé = you got dressed
il s'est amusé = he had fun
elle s'est couchée = she went to bed
nous nous sommes aimés = we loved each other
vous vous êtes promenées = you took a walk (only females)
ils se sont mariés = they got married
elles se sont entendues = they got on well
negatives you form the same way, and you put the "ne" and the "pas" either side of the reflexive pronoun and auxiliary.
je ne me suis pas reveillé(e) = I didn't wake up
elle ne s'est pas maquillée = she didn't do her make up
nous ne nous sommes pas reposés = we didn't rest
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense. It's a bit confusing...
