Hi, the workout provided these alternative answers: -

“Quel bonhomme de neige magnifique les enfants !”

“Quel magnifique bonhomme de neige les enfants !” 

In this case it's OK to place 'magnifique' either before or after the noun.

Is there a rule that states when some adjectives can be placed either before or after the noun? 

Thank you

hi,

After reviewing the positions of adjectives is it correct to say that the sentence un extremement vieux parchemin would fall under the category for 2 or more syllables for the word extremement?

merci

Can you tell me why it's "avoir à passer du temps" rather than "avoir passer du temps"?  From the lessons I would think the version without "à" would express "having to spend".

Also, in the last phrase it is difficult to understand whether  they wanted a phrase to describe that he would become  a person who translates any language instantly or he would instantly become a universal translator. Are those two things written differently?

Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive  and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant.  Is that incorrect?

Thanks

Answer given: I haven’t eaten any meat for ten years. Why wouldn’t the answer simply be “I haven’t eaten meat for ten years”? Thanks in advance for input.
