"les puissants lobbies" ou "les lobbies puissants"A general question rather than a specific one, though this is an example. The lessons, as I understand them, teach that short, and some common adjectives go before the nouns, but otherwise (unless for particular stress) most adjectives go after the noun.
However, I have noticed that often these rules don't seem to apply. Puissant is neither short (in my mind one syllable), or common. However the text above places it before, but after is acceptable as well when the exercise is marked.
I have noticed this many times in doing the exercises. As a consequence, I am confused.
If the simple answer is that "short" means 2 syllables, I will be content.
Can anyone explain why the subjunctive 'puisse' is used here?
Is the pronunciation of vont a bit odd in this phrase ?
"Je ne manque de rien." is given as the correct translation for "I lack nothing". Why the "ne"? Why not just "Je manque de rien"? It has been about three years since I paid attention to French, and I am really rusty.

I’m wondering if there’s a logic for having a singular beetroot in this phrase? Usually you’d make it with more than one, as with "tarte aux pommes"
you reference a video without giving a link to it!
Why do you need ‘Comment’ when Savoir means to know how to do something?
I was interested by the "lesquels" in the middle of this sentence: is it a fancier way of emphasising the critics, rather than using "qui tendent" ?
