If you use an adjective that's not on the BEFORE list with a short adverb, does it stay BEHIND the noun or not? "Une très gentille fille."

My revision in English

Hello,

I was wondering if I can post my translation of the reading exercise of Cher journal for my answers here to see how I did or is there a page where it shows it correctly of the translation?

Thanks for your help

Passive - English confusion!!

I am totallyconfused by some of your English translations for the Passive

How are you differentiating in English between Passé Composé and the Imparfait? Eg "Ils ont été accuellis par le xxx and "ils etaient accueillis par le xxx". You translate the second sentence in the tests as "They were welcomed by " but then how would you translate the first sentence?? When you ask fir a translation of "The boy was welcomed by" you can't mark it wrong if one gives answer in passé composé as opposed to "imparfait"?

Je suis chanteuse

When I used "Je suis une chanteuse," instead of "je suis chanteuse," I was told I was incorrect. But if the person speaking sings but singing isn't her profession, wouldn't "je suis une chanteuse" be correct?
