Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

No, it is "nous n'avons pas pu nous voir " (or "on n'a pas pu se voir" in an informal conversation).
The pronoun only applies to voir, not pouvoir voir, since the pronoun is only the object of a given verb.

Hmm okay. I got the impression from this website, that passé composé with reflexive verbs was formed with “être”, which is why I used “sommes” and not “avons”. How come you use “avons”?

Because pouvoir in this instance is a normal verb, not a pronominal one. It simply uses avoir.

Se voir on the other hand is pronominal so it uses être.
