j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?

How do you know whether or not an adjective goes before or after the noun? 

Je veux etudier des sujets autres que le passe simple, mais le programme me donne 9 questions du passe simple sur 10 dans chaque test, meme si j'active le test a partir des lecons sur d'autres sujets. Comment sortir de cet engrenage? 

- Le soleil se lève dans l'est. 

- Le soleil se lève à l'est. 

Are both correct? Can you please explain why "dans" is not used? à l'est would mean 'to the east' and not 'in the east'?? - https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/directions/ 

In the last sentence, "Exactement Yvan ! Prenez votre temps et restez détendus !", the adjective détendus is plural; the previous comment was directed at Yvan.  I would expect the singular détendu if the comment is directed at Yvan.  Another interpretation is that the comment is directed at both Yvan and his friend or perhaps others in the group.   It is a bit ambiguous.   Do you agree?

I don't think the problem is my computer but many of the sections here would not play sound

What is the difference between ce serait and ça serait here?

So, is there a nuance between 'buisson' and 'arbuste' ?  I believe that both translate to bush or shrub.  Shouldn't both be accepted since there is no other description? 

Another who has fallen foul of the "Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux" question. Please add the exception to the lesson.
