To know if we have to add the female marker, we have to ask ourselves this question: is the auxialiary "to be" (être) or "to have" (avoir).
If the auxialiary is to have, you don't had any female marker at the past participle.
Ex: Elle a reçu un gateau. (She has received a cake) -> no marker, because "a" is the auxiliary "to have", avoir.
If the auxiliary is to be, you have to had a female marker only if the actor is a female.
Ex: Elle est tombée. (She fell down). -> marker because the actor is a female (elle), and the auxiliary is to be (être)
Il est tombé. ( He fell down). -> no marker because the actor is a male.
