Les feuilles oranges?In week 81 of the A2 writing challenge, there is a canonical translation "les feuilles rouges, jaunes et oranges". Why does "orange" have the -s suffix? I thought it was a color derived from a real thing and as such, it doesn't change.

Hi AurelieI am a bit confused. Is it correct to say "je n'ai pas de chien mais deux?" I read about the exception when "etre" is used however I'm confused because when we say they don't have a dog, but two I see that "une" chien is being used.

I understand that "Il ne mange rien" is the correct order of words...But does the order change if the verb tense changes? Can I say " Il n'a rien mangé?
