Behaved properly and kept in touch with, indeed, we're told (3,5)

'behaved' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'properly and kept in touch with indeed we're told' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'properly' could be 'right' (synonyms) and 'right' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'did' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
