Reflexive verbs in passé composé agreementI know that all reflexive verbs are conjugated with être in the passé composé, and that the past participle agrees with the subject in number and gender. I learned that when there is another object present (a body part in all or most cases) there is no agreement. In an A2 test, I answered "Elles se sont brossé les cheveux." and was marked wrong, with "Elles se sont brossées les cheveux." as the correct answer. I asked this question on the quiz question site and was redirected to this Q and A board. Thanks for your help/clarification. -- Bonnie Christianson
