Erreurs et problemes d'exercice

1. On dit pas "une longue barbe frisee" ici, mais "une barbe longue et frisee". 'long/longue" devant le nom = "Ouah!" comme "Quelle longue journee!".

Peut-etre s'il avait une barbe qui lui pendait jusqu' a` la poitrine, on pourrait dire: "Ouah! Quelle longue barbe!, mais ce monsieur a une barbe normale.

En plus, son pull n'est pas du tout "violet".

2. On ne leur voit pas les yeux.

3. En gros, il faut redessiner les portraits

C'est with a determiner

I have to say I start to sweat when this question shows up on my tests, because I will ALWAYS get it wrong. I have read the lesson over and over and it seems like I will decided that I should use c'est because there is a determiner, but then it tells me to use elle or il. Then I use il or elle because there isn't a determiner and it will tell me to use c'est. I feel like all the lessons help me, and I see my mistakes, but this one is not helping me. Any other way to explain this to me?

What if there is no verb to modify

I was wondering how this expression would be used for sentences where the main action is accounted for by faire already. In other words where the expression is not modifying another verb. For example, if I wanted to say that "all lies are done on purpose", would it be "tout mensonges a fait exprès" or "tout mensonges a fait exprès de faire"?? Thanks, am having trouble transforming this sentence grammatically.

Clarification from "Tip"

Can someone please explain the second part of this sentence (in the "Tip" box of the lesson)? I'm not clear what "...and not regardless of which, like with verbs such as..." part of the sentence means.

You won't use this in Indirect Speech where whether = if and not regardless of which, like with verbs such as se demander (to wonder) or savoir (to know).
