In this sentence, 'quittée' is the past participle of 'quitter,' showing that the action of leaving (her) has occurred in the past. It agrees in gender and number with its direct object, 'her,' because it's used with the auxiliary verb ' avoir' and there's a preceding direct object.
La maison qu'elle avait quittée était magnifique.
The house she had left was magnificent.
Here, 'quittée' again functions as the past participle, agreeing in gender and number (feminine singular) with the direct object, 'la maison,' reflecting the action directed toward the house.
Ils se sont quittés après la réunion.
They parted ways after the meeting.
In this case, 'quittés' represents the plural agreement in gender with the subject 'ils,' reflecting mutual separation after interaction.
