Placement of adjectives

HI,

I was wondering when I took the test why un étonnamment bon film was marked wrong wouldn't étonnamment be describing how good the film is or was?

Thanks

Nicole

Why don't questions ever get answered?

Just that. Some questions have been around for over three years without an answer.

verb grammar

Why is it "vous vous êtes forcément posé la question" and not "vous vous êtes forcément posés la question" since the verb is reflexive and in the compound past tense? Is it because the writer intends the "vous" as signaling a singular subject?

using hyphens with centIn the lesson “Expressing numbers 70 to 999 in French” one example is given as:

“trois-cent-quarante three hundred and forty”

However, in the lesson “Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French” the description begins with:

“Up to neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf [choses] (999 [things])”

Which example is correct? Should there be hyphens between all parts of the number, or just some of them?

Thank you.

C'est chaud

Can you use 'c'est chaud/c'est moche' etc to talk about the conditions that the weather has created? For example, at the hight of summer it's not uncommon to hear 'c'est chaud' as one enters someone's home.

J'ai pédalé dans la choucroute

J'ai pédalé dans la choucroute est un expression tres droll. J'aime beaucoup. Vous auriez dû le mention dans the leçon.
