s'appelle
In French we have some verbs that have a reflexive form, it means that the action of the verb is applied to oneself. Example: "se demander" = "ask oneself", "wonder". The expression to indicate one's name in French is a reflexive verb, literally "call oneself". So the "s'" before "appeler" indicates that the subject and the object of the verb are identical.
It goes like this: "Je m'appelle Paul" "Tu t'appelles Paul" "Il/Elle s'appelle Paul/Lise" "Nous nous appelons Pierre et Charlotte" "Vous vous appelez Pierre et Charlotte" "Ils/Elles s'appellent Pierre et Paul/Charlotte et Lise".
Yes, the "s or se" like in s'appeler, s'exclamer, se détendre etc is conjugates according to The subject.
