With which verbs do you add ' att'?

[devalanteriel]

As a general rule, non-modal verbs.

Whats a non modal verb

[soundspirit]

having trouble understanding when and when not to use "själv". I translated this as "Katten älskar att tvätta sig själv", which was marked wrong. Can someone please help me understand where my thinking is wrong on this? Tack!

[bennibergner]

Would 'att rena' work instead of 'att tvätta'?

[JoakimEk]

Not really, the verb rena is more like purify. The adjective rena (pl) means clean though.
