Can one say "le jour avant" as well ? 

Hi, the workout provided these alternative answers: -

“Quel bonhomme de neige magnifique les enfants !”

“Quel magnifique bonhomme de neige les enfants !” 

In this case it's OK to place 'magnifique' either before or after the noun.

Is there a rule that states when some adjectives can be placed either before or after the noun? 

Thank you

Is “ Tu as visitée Paris” grammatically correct?

Aren't we using indirect object with "refuser?" Why do we use "nous" here in the second sentence? Merci! 

Can anyone let me know what is the correct meaning of comment vous vous appelez? 

Is it you call yourself... or your name is... ? 

And, why do we use comment vous vous appelez? instead of Quel est votre nom?. and what's the difference between these two?

Can’t there be two correct answers to this statement about France’s territory depending on whether you are referring to ‘the territory’ or the territories ‘climate and relief’?

This may be a little arcane, but what is the general naming convention in French when using proper names from other languages that use the Latin/Roman alphabet, especially for famous persons? For example, in this exercise Leonardo Da Vinci is rendered in the French Léonard de Vinci. The Italian spelling seems to be widely used & in the States at least there has been a move towards using the native spelling of names in academic works & history books.

In English calling him Leonard from Vinci would sound really weird.  

Should “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais” be “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvaises” so that “mauvaises” agrees with “chaussettes”?
