French language Q&A Forum

I would like a list of adjectives that change their meaning when placed before or after nouns 

Est-ce 

'sur le plancher' remplace 'sur le sol / par terre' ?

plancher ça veut dire floor????

Merci

"this classic French dessert" = "ce dessert classique français" and "the melted lemon butter" =" le beurre fondu à citron"  How do I know which adjective goes first? 

Bonjour - J’ai remarqué que l'homme de gauche a utilisé le passé simple deux fois (“et ce fut une défaite cuisante” et “notre équipe obtint . . .”).  Est-ce qu’il est courant d'utiliser le passé simple en parlant ?  Est-ce parce qu'il parlait de faits historiques ?  Merci !

j'ai faim pour la nourrive de mexicain ( i am hungry for mexican food).

did this make sense?

Would it also be correct to say, "Elles dorment en s'enlacant."? 

(Sorry I know that the C is missing the cedille, here.)

Merci !

This is a phone call, correct?  Why was my word Allo (with accent on the A)marked incorrect in the first line?

Sometimes Vouloir (to want) is conjugated as veux at the present tense, but sometimes it is conjugated as veux for the pronoun je. Does this have to do with formality?

I just want to clarify can the following be either, 'what is this' or 'what is that?' If not, how do you change the sentence to be one or the other?

Or is it it for example:

qu'est-ce que c'est : What is that?

qu'est-ce que c'est que cela: What is this?

I put in some different answers from what was accepted and wondered if any of the following were possible. 

1. For "I really need to save", is it OK to use "il faut vraiment", or does "absolument" always naturally go with "il faut" ?

2. For "I've stopped buying expensive brands", can I also use the reflexive "Je me suis arrêtée d'acheter des marques chères" ?

3. For "and instead I've tried the supermarket brands" can we use "au lieu" in place of "à la place"?; and finally :

4. For "I must admit", can the verb "avouer" replace "admettre", as in "Je dois l'avouer..." or does this have a different sense ?

Thanks
