Bonjour! Un exemple dans cette leçon indique:

>Exemple: Le joli garçon est avec la jolie fille.

Pourquoi c'est "la jolie fille" et pas "la fille jolie"?

[I wrote this in French as practice; but I thought that adjectives follow nouns in French? Is there a lesson going over how to order adjectives?

In addition, I'd love any feedback on the presentation/construction of my question! Writing longer sentences in French is hard.]

I'm inferring from the context that "clou" here means something like "highlight" or perhaps "grand finale", but I was unable to anything like this sense in the reference materials that I have on hand. "The nail of this stay" doesn't make a lot of sense to me, so I figure it has to mean something else.

Help in sorting this out will be appreciated.

What do the preposition à and de Mean Un the Following sentences ?

Je parle à mon copain

10. Cette infirmière attend un garçon is not reflexive.  Why in one answer This nurse is expecting a boy.

Je ne l'aime pas vs. Je n'aime pas ça 

Why are these not inter-changeable?  

Merci de clarifier! 😊

There is no clue given across these 2 sentences to indicate that the 2nd sentence is a general statement, rather than referring to 'being in my garden'. Understood as the latter, couldn't "Je l'ai trouvé toujours magique" also be a correct translation ? 

I do not understand why "Sams does Aikido" is translated as "Sam fait de l'aïkido.".  The lesson says that in front of masculine nouns that de le and les will contract to du and des.  Why is this not "Sam fait du aïkido"?  

Thank you.

When do I use "ne...que" and when do I use "ne...plus que"?
