Dr. Mrs. Vandertramp verbs and reflexive verbs

Reflexive verbs will have "se" in front of them

Reflexive verbs/ les verbes pronominaux 

Some verbs will change to be reflexive if you're doing it to yourself/ or the person is doing it to themselves. For example: Je lave ma voiture, is different to Je me lave. Some verbs are always reflexive, for example, se souvenir de (to remember) s'enfuir de (to flee), s'exclamer (to exclaim)

Past Participles/ Les participes passés 

Once you know whether or not you're using Avoir or Etre, just add the past participle: E with the acute accent/ accent aigu, I, or U

But what about irregular verbs?
