Example

Nous nous sommes perdus dans la forêt en suivant le mauvais chemin.
We got lost in the forest by following the wrong path.
Pronunciation: Nous noo som pair-doo don la for-ay an swee-van luh moh-vay shuh-manh.
Grammar: "Forêt" is feminine (la forêt). With the reflexive verb "se perdre" in the passé composé, the auxiliary is "être" (nous nous sommes perdus) and the past participle agrees with the subject in gender and number (perdus for a mixed or all-male group).
