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

Hi,

In the sentence 'On avait  alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués..etc'

Why is 'éberlués' not singular to agree with'on'.

Is it because plurality is implied?

Is there a lesson on this to clarify?

Thanks

In the question:  "Regarde! Elle bâille! Quelqu'un est ________ ."  I chose "fatigué", and was marked wrong, claiming I had put "bâillé", (which I didn't.) Why?

Could someone explain the use of the definite article "les" before "deux tiers" in the following example from this lesson:

Les invités ont mangé les deux tiers du gâteau.  The guests have eaten 2/3 of the cake.

Thank you.

Interesting to read but I'm getting a bit stuck on "l'on" as in "il ne faut pas que l'on nous voie".  Why is the "l' " necessary? What does it refer to?

The English sentence is: Fantastic! I can't wait to try my new skis.

I had " Je n'ai pas hâte d’essayer mes nouveaux skis.

Qu’est-ce que c’est « un plaid »? Est-ce une couverture ?
