"Une délicieuse viande grillée"
I can't find anything in the rules for adjective placement explaining the placement of "délicieuse" before "viande" instead of between "viande and grillée.

Vous _______________ dans le placard.
I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused.
Bonjour,
In one of the examples above:
Maintenant que ses parents n'étaient plus là, elle devait s'occuper de sa sœur.

Why is it not:
Now that her parents were gone, she was supposed to take care of her sister.
Merci
