Well, we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the good explanation, but it’s remembering that the wretched things are reflexive that’s half the battle. Railway stations and post offices that ‘find themselves’ over there, on the right, indeed…
What with this and doing some exercises on manquer à earlier today I’ll be C2 in no time (or not…)

Yes, I agree, railway stations “finding themselves” are not very logical! I’m sure you’ll be in C2 very soon.

It’s all very logical and easy to follow with the written word – but it’s in the middle of endeavouring to have a conversation, trying to get it all together with tenses, gender, word order etc that is hard! Thanks for your clear and concise explanation.
You’ve summed it up pretty well! It’s not that complicated really, only takes some use to. Exceptions aside because like you said, they’re not used that often.

Yes, you don’t have to worry about the exceptions too much!

Yes, getting it altogether is always a problem!
Ah yes, pesky little things. I had quite a bit of trouble with this when I was first learning!
