Place of "magnifique"

Why does the place of "magnifique" varies in the sentences below though it's neither an adjective that qualifies a proper noun nor a numerical adjective?

J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques.

Il a mangé de magnifiques gâteaux.

Du pain

Why is it "Il achète du pain"? I think bread is countable so it should be "Il achète des pains"

l'écriture (f)The noun 'écriture' (handwriting) is feminine. But apparently the correct translation of "We cannot read his handwriting" is 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire son écriture'. I was using an exercise book and I thought the answer in the back might be a mistake, but Google Translate also comes up with the same translation. La bonne phrase est 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire sa écriture', n'est-ce pas?

When "quelque chose" is used as a subject, are adjectives feminine? I've seen the sentences "Quelque chose est arrivé." and "Quelque chose est arrivée." Which is correct?

spoon names and sizesI'm puzzled by you're translating 'teaspoon' as 'une cuillère à café'. Surely it should be 'une cuillère à thé'? I've also heard 'une petite cuillère'. I would expect to reserve 'une cuillère à café' for a coffee spoon, a different, smaller item.

noun genders with countries

hi,

I took the test and i understand that Switzerland is feminine but why is there a masculine pronoun ils at the beginning? ils detesent la suisse. Shouldn't it be elles not ils?

thanks
