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

'behaved' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps 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 see how this works, but
'properly' could be 'right' (synonyms) and 'right' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'did' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
