J'adore faire du shopping. Surely it is `faire les magasins` or `faire des courses`? Depending on the context.

Placement of 'aucun/e' in passé composé

I found this sentence interesting:

Nous n'avons acheté aucune voiture.

Don't both parts of a negation (ne + plus/jamais/que/etc) usually go before the participle?

Do adjectives still agree when you use 'c'etait'?For example. If I were to say "Nous avons eu une tempete. C'etait effrayante." Would that be correct (apart from the missing accent on tempete which I can't get to work in this box!)
