Are all verbs strictly reflexive verbs or can they sometimes not be reflexive
In the phrase, "Bonjour Lucile, nous assistons en direct à un début de course palpitant...", 'palpitant' seems to agree with 'début' instead of 'course'.

I'm trying to devine whether there is some rule at work here here, or whether it's pretty much optional.

Isn’t there a way to imply each/every another way?: je mange une pomme le matin, ou je me promène le soir.
