when past participle doesnot agree using etre

Question

Hi 
I am looking for a lesson which explains how in reflexive verbs in passe compose the past participle does not agree in gender and number with the subject if the object is indirect.

Bonjour Radhika,
At the moment, we have not published a lesson on this specific grammar point (agreement of reflexive verbs in the compound past). Take a look here to see why there should not be an agreement:  agreement of reflexive verbs
Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux = We brushed our hair
 -> the direct object (les cheveux) is placed after the verb - no agreement
Nous nous sommes brossés = We brush ("ourselves")
-> the past participle agrees only if the direct object (nous) precedes the verb. - agreement
 
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
