Merci pour cette exercise. C’est un bon exemple d’un format d’argument. J’ai beaucoup appris de cela. : )

Why do we place the adjective before the noun in some sentences, and after the noun in some sentences?

pourquoi on utilise 'règnent' ici, pas 'règne' ?

J'aime cette histoire

How do I know which to use? C’est or Il est ?

This question doesn't direct us to use a specific verb. It only gives us the english "to hate" so why can't we use hair? Sorry can't figure out the accents on my keyboard.

c'est l'ambiance chaleureuse qui m'a plu is translated as it was the warm atmosphere that I enjoyed . Since it is the past tense shouldn't c'etait be used?

I understand that "raide" is more common but is "lisse" incorrect? In what context would you use "lisse"?

I am trying to figure out how to say "I am good/bad at (something)" in French. There seems to be discrepancies between sources online about what prepositions to use.

For example, I searched "I am good at piano" on an online translator. It gave me many options: Je suis doué pour piano, je suis bon au piano, je suis bon en piano, and je suis doué en piano. I know that you use different prepositions depending on what adjective is used (doué vs bon), but why does this translator give so many options, and which ones are correct?

Also, for example, to say "I am bad at guitar", the translator says you can say either je suis mauvais à la guitarre OR je suis mauvais en guitarre. Which one of these is correct?

Basically, which of these prepositions (en/au/à la/pour) do you use when saying je suis nul/mauvais/bon/doué AT something?

Thank you!
