can i use bientot with future proche. 

i am soon going to buy a new car.

Je vais bientot acheter une nouvelle voiture.

is this correct or should i simply say. 

Je vais acheter une voiture.

He has a lot of powerful friends. 

Il a beaucoup d'amis puissants. 

Is it correct to place puissant after the noun in this sentence? In which case puissant will precede noun?

Elle a un visage long et sérieux. 

Why is long following the noun in this sentence? 

As per BANGS rule, the adjective "long" usually precedes the noun. I came across this sentence in a book Entre Jeune, used for teaching french to 9th standard in schools in India.

I have not seen any examples or reference to using the phrase when the subject is/are thing/s rather than people. I may be missing something very basic here, but can the phrase be used with things, or only when the pronouns represent people? If it can be used, is it actually used?

Hello,

Just to confirm, worth here cannot mean the price of an object?

Hi,

I am seeing the past participle agreeing in number, adding "s" when I see les lui or les leur

What do I need to know about the status of the past participle in an example such as... "Nous les leur avons montrés."

Thank you

Hello,

Just curious, why is peu de used for friends since they are countable (or should it not be lol)

Or both are accepted?

I have a few friends - j'ai quelques amis

i have few friends - j'ai peu d'amis
