Note that when "grand(e)" is used to describe people, different rules apply:

– un grand homme = a great man

– un homme grand = a tall man

I haven't yet found this distinction set out on Kwiziq, but on lawlessfrench.com we can compare the different treatment as between things and people on these two pages:

In Latin and English a future active indicative sometimes acts as an imperative command, like "Thou shalt not steal." I'm curious if there is any parallel to this in French? Thank you!

The question was:  "- Nous ?" "- Non, pas ________ !"

The correct response was "vous". Why is "toi" incorrect?

feelings at the time....why am I wrong?

I don't quite follow what the "But only" is meaning in the following text from the lesson:

You can also use any of those with ne ... plus (not anymore / not again):plus jamais / jamais plusbut ONLY plus rienplus personneplus nulle part. 

After more than a year of these lessons, I'd not learned "ce n'est pas" is how you say it is not "something" - for example - "Ce n'est pas une bonne taille."  Great discovery (I found it in a weekend writing lesson) !  Great course !
