placement of puissant

Hi Richa,

In this case, you can only put 'puissants' after the noun as you wouldn't split beaucoup de and amis, it would sound very clumsy.

But you might say -

C'est une puissante voiture

or

C'est une voiture puissante.

Although attributive adjectives will normally follow the noun ( un chat noir, une fille intelligente, etc.), as the lesson indicates, some BANGS ( beauty- age- number- goodness - size ) adjectives will precede them.

Puissant, however, seems to have a mind of its own...
