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?
"Une délicieuse viande grillée"
I can't find anything in the rules for adjective placement explaining the placement of "délicieuse" before "viande" instead of between "viande and grillée.
Nous avons visité une exposition qu'un ami a recommandée.
If 'que' referred to 'un musée', then the past participle would lack the final 'e'?
A little unclear re the use of the above. What is the difference, if any, between the following ?:
J'ai peu d'amis and J'ai quelques amis
hi,
I was wondering what is the easiest way to know when something is in the 12 hour clock or when something is in the 24 hour clock? This seems to be my most problem in this section of understanding.
thanks

Why did the quiz ask only one question, yet the results show 2 questions, one unanswered?
The example listed in the lesson specifies "a bakery in the town".
Une boulangerie dans la ville.
What if I was speaking in general, such as "Yes, there's a bakery in town."
Would this be translated as "Oui, il y a une boulangerie en ville." ?
Is it true that unlike mentioned in this lesson, Faux/Fausse can also come after the noun? And when it does come after, it has to mean "wrong". (..instead of "fake/false")?
- J'ai tapé un code faux et ma carte est bloquée.
- Malgré quelques réponses fausses, j'ai réussi l'examen.
I used the verb s'éveiller for "wake up", but it was not given as one of the alternatives. I thought "se lever" meant "to get up (out of bed)", rather than specifically to wake up. Can you clarify?
I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence. Please comment.
