Bonjour James,
"s'avouer vaincu" (= to admit defeat) is a fixed expression where the past participle 'vaincu' is used as an adjective.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
why is "vaincu" conjugated to past when its already after a conjugated verb ? shouldn't it just be "vaincre"

If you post the entire sentence, I can help you. Otherwise I would need to go to the exercise and do the exercise until I get to the point where you have a question. Then come back and answer your questions. Sometimes that's just too much bother and your question remains unanswered.
