Etre with reflexive pronouns

I keep seeing "s'est" and such, but I don't know why it's used. I can't understand the meaning behind it, and I also see "s'est terminé" when terminer isn't a verb that uses etre when conjugated into passé composé.

Bonjour Zereen,

Jim's link is excellent for helping clarify this topic.

You might also find the link below useful:

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
