Adjectives that go after or before

Bonjour.

I took a quiz and it said I was wrong when I put charment last but in the list it says if an adverb is 2 or more syllables it go after the adjective? Or would charmant not be considered an adverb and incase be considered the adjective of Clark gable?

Thanks

Nicole

Don't understand why this lesson is under "Pronouns"

Hi,

I'm having difficulties understanding why this lesson is under "Pronouns"... It looks to me it would be better places under "Idioms and Idiomatic Expressions"...

You can always point out that I'm wrong off course.

Mon dictionnaire français épelle la fin de semaine "week-end" pas "weekend" comme les anglais.

Vous n'êtes pas arrivés en retard

If you are refering "vous" formally to single person would "Vous n'êtes pas arrivé en retard". Arrivé without the "s".

Verb question

In the last sentence, "Et vous, comment s'est passé votre Noël cette année ?" If vous is the subject, shouldn't the verb be, vous etiez passé. How come it switches to 3rd person?
