"Un vraiment beau monument" is wrong, should read "un monument vraiment beau", yet I am led to believe that using a different subject "un très beau fille" is acceptable. If my example is correct can someone please explain. Thanks/Merci

The last sentence reads- Quand elle avait vu ma nouvelle coupe, Flora en avait eu le souffle coupé.

Why does the second sentence translate as- 'Flora had been totally blown away.'
Merci beaucoup Madame pour m'aider encore.
Bonne journée !

Chris if you're still there can you help with this please? You said
Il se demandait si elle viendrait. -- He wondered whether she’d come. (Indirect speech)
Je me demande qu’elle vienne. -- I wonder whether she’s coming. (Direct speech)
But the lesson says
"je me demande si tu vas venir ou pas.
I wonder whether you'll come or notSo it seems to me that "Je me demande" is used with "si" + imperative and not que + subjunctive. Can you throw any light on this please?
I wonder how one is supposed to arrive at jeté mon dévolu for settled on.
I chose choisir which seems to me to capture the sense but wasn’t credited.7
You use "il/elle" for opinions and in specifying a particular item. But say "C'est une jolie robe."
I don't get it.
