Why does the adjective in this case come prior to the noun: 

Lisa est une très bonne vendeuse.

But in this case (also describing goodness or quality) it comes after:

Maurice est un professeur excellent.

Does this indicate that the BAGS guideline doesn't apply to the adjective excellent?

Here's a famous mnemonic tip to help you remember adjectives that come before the noun: you can call them the BAGS adjectives, which stand for

Beauty (joli/beau)

Age (vieux/jeune)

Goodness (gentil/méchant).

excusez-moi, does the word game in every vocab lesson cost kwquizz?

I think there is a small mistake in the English text. Instead of 'The manager has just confirmed me that...' it has 'The manager had just confirmed me that...'

In this example -- 

Après que nous aurons fait les poussières, nous passerons la serpillière partout.
Trans: After we have dusted, we will mop everywhere.

The translation of 'aurons fait les poussières' should be 'after we will have dusted', no?
'After we have dusted' would be 'Après que nous avons fait les poussières', is that right? 
Or is the 'Après que' significant for the verb conjugation?

Can you please explain the difference in meaning between "Tu peux ne pas venir." and "Tu ne peux pas venir"?

The lesson Question: Nous ________ insomniaques avec l'âge.

C'est dommage de ne pas avoir de questions de compréhension pour la lecture et l'écoute... 

I don't understand why we can't use the 

when there is no reference to a duration of time. For example "during that year the letters had been sent"??? This sentence seems like it was a one time action. ???

Hello, sometimes when I type the correct word, correct spelling, correct accents, correct punctuation, and everything, the word still gets highlighted as "different" than the example given.  Even though my answer is the exact same as the one given. What could be the solution here ? It is marking me down a lot of points I should'nt be marked down for.
