Subject pronoun
Je means “I” and is the subject of the sentence.
Direct object pronoun (l')
l' replaces a masculine singular noun (or a feminine noun beginning with a vowel) and is placed before the auxiliary verb.
Auxiliary verb (avoir)
The passé composé of most verbs uses the auxiliary avoir; here it is conjugated as ai.
Past participle agreement
With avoir, the past participle agrees with the direct object only when the object precedes the verb. Since l' precedes, réglé becomes réglée if the referent is feminine.

Cultural Tip
In French, le matin is used for a general part of the day, while la matinée refers to the duration of the morning (e.g., “pendant la matinée”). When speaking about a specific event, le matin is preferred. Also, remember that the past participle réglé only agrees with the object if the pronoun precedes the verb – e.g., Je l'ai réglée for a feminine noun like la facture.
