For the translation of 'thin, clean' does it matter which order the adjectives appear in French ?

Is s'en aller used in the negative form?  If so, what is the construction?

The answer to #7 on the calendar is la neige but I answered une boule à neige (a snow globe) because that's what it looks like to me.

Why is personne considered a plural noun? I thought it needed an “s” to be plural. 

Why is it that in some cases you use lui and in others you use elle?

For the line « Il n'aime pas le vert » one of the reference lessons is to the use of colours as adjectives with changes in gender/number. However, in this sentence « vert » is a noun, and a more relevant reference would be to the use of (definite) articles with ne ... pas as linked here:

These names might apply reasonably specifically to 'basketball shoes' or generically to 'sports shoes' in some parts of the English-speaking world, but not everywhere. Why not use 'tennis shoes' in a story based around tennis ? ( « les baskets » is appropriately covered in another of the writing topics ).

Salut! Pouvez-vous m'expliquer la phrase suivante?

Les filles aiment ________________ yeux.      The girls like your eyes.

Why is my "bien tes" answer marked as incorrect, and the correct answer as aiment. The girls like his eyes, they don't love his eyes.

Thank you
