how do pronominal verbs work?I have no problems with "se laver" or "se promener" - these are things you're doing to yourself. But "s'attaquer", "se moquer", "s'écrier" (attacking, making fun of, crying at) ? Those are done to others, so why are they pronominal?

Re quizzing our studyplan

Hey there, I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. When I get my Studyplan, I go through the list, often will be something like "kept 8, here's two new topics" and so will do the new lessons and then go to the longer test. I have pressed "Test Recommended again" at the top as well as the "test again" at the bottom of the results page. When I do this, I will often get questions on topics I have not yet studied. Why is this??
