brosse should have an s at the end when you say I brushed them

Can you simply move an adjective before a noun and then use 'de'? Or does using 'de' before the adjective only occur when using an adjective that actually goes before the noun?

i.e. Can we say "the white houses" either way? des maisons blanches or de blanches maisons

Mon ordinateur ne march pas bien.  Il a saute quelque pages et je ne le peut pas renverse pour les completer.  Je voudrai repeter l'exercise du debut, et ne pas registrer les resultes de cet examen.  Merci pour votre consideration et aide.

In this example of passive voice for se faire gronder why does faite end in e? I thought fait was invariable when a past participle following a feminine/ plural direct object with avoir or following être as in this case. 

I found the phrases and vocabulary used in this activity to be extremely difficult! I didn't feel ready for this level of translation at all. There is often quite a disparity between the level of language used in the Study Plan lessons (very simple) versus these dictation activities (much more complex). I would love to have more learning in the Study Plan that would support this level of language complexity. 

Does the word intensivement not exist in French? I used it in a test and it was marked incorrect and intensément given as the correct version.
 

Nous ______________ les cheveux.

We brushed our hair.

HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) using Le Passé Composé.

avons brossé / se sommes brossés / nous avons brossés / nous sommes brossé

========================================================

It is stated the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". However, it is a mistake.

The verb must agree with the subject when it is conjugated with 'être'. In this case, there are a reflexive verb, which has to be conjugated with 'être', and subject 'nous'. Hence, the correct answer is "nous sommes brossés".

I would appreciate your comments on this.

The translation Is ‘I didn’t recognize you.’ 

Please explain why the plus que parfait is used here instead of the passé compose.

Thanks.
