French language Q&A Forum

I did a quiz and got this question: "Which of the following adjectives are correctly placed?"

 I selected the answer above but it said it was incorrect. I thought if the adverb was 2+ syllables, then vieux would follow after. Can someone explain?

(Histoire de ma vie) I have the desire to write a novel or I have no more the desire to write a novel. What means : se passer qchose?

This link says that an Indirect Object Pronoun can also be introduced by the preposition pour (for).  But I can find only examples with preposition ' à  (to)' ...Can you please share a few examples of Indirect Object Pronouns with preposition pour; can't find them in this lesson and other Indirect Object related lessons.

Bonjour

Can one as an alternative to "deux sucettes au caramel" write "deux sucettes caramélisées"? This is in line with phrases like "porc salé" and "bouillon aromatisé".

Or, does "deux sucettes au caramel" imply lollipops that contain pieces of caramel compared to "deux sucettes caramélisées" that implies lollipops with a caramel flavour?

Avant d’obtenir une réponse: is ‘avant de recevoir une réponse also OK?

Could anyone please tell me if there are any rules on if and when you can/cannot replace inanimate nouns with subject pronouns? I read the lesson c'est versus il est/elle est and thought you use c'est with nouns while il/elle est is used with adjectives. 

But I have encountered situations where the writer/speaker uses il/elle est with a noun.

For example, if you are referring to (or pointing at) "une lettre", can you say "Elle est une lettre"? Or can you only say "C'est une lettre."?

Or, if you are referring to "une conversation", can you say "Elle va bien" or can you only say "Ça va bien."? 

Thank you for any clarification. 

In the third sentence, the second phrase in English to be translated is given in the exercise as "...the pronunciation is difficult...", without the adverb "very" being used before "difficult" , however the French translation in the exercise & in the final full text is given as "...la prononciation est très difficile..." instead of "...la prononciation est difficile...".

On the introductory page of the dictée "Rendez-vous pour le contrôle technique", the word is spelled 'defectueux'. But in the body of the exercise, in section four where it appears, it is spelled 'défecteux'.
