Nouveau can go after the noun, with a change of meaning, right?I chose "un vélo nouveau" as correct as well as "un nouveau vélo". I thought "un vélo nouveau" would mean a bicycle of a design that has just been invented.

En retard au travail

I used “en retard pour le travail”. I knew it was wrong but did not think of an alternative. Is there a Lawless lesson that can help me with this construction?


Thank you!
