La place des adjectifs: Long/longue(s)

Bonjour !

Dans «longues dents pointues», «long» est avant le nom mais dans «cheveux longs», «long est après le nom. Pourquoi ?

Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît expliquer.

Merci beaucoup :)

"On est gentilS"?You give the example "On est gentils" - should that be "On est gentil" (i.e. the adjective is singular after 'on' even if I'm using "on" to talk about a group of people)? Or am I mistaken? Thank you.

Quand at beginning or end?Why is ´Quand on ouvre les cadeaux ?´ an incorrect response in the testant ´On ouvre les cadeaux quand ?´ is correct? As per this lesson, when we use the inverted form, the question word is at the beginning of the sentence.

Passé simple:Yes I agree that it does avoid the passé composé rules but....if it is only used as a written tool, why are there so any questions using it? While there may be a lot of the 77,000+ people using this site to learn French, I would bet a lot of money that most of us are learning to be able to speak it properly. Just my frustration. I would prefer more attention be given to idioms such as the ones in the weekend challenge.

you never say "Quel un beau matin !"So how would one say "What a beatiful morning!"? Also, this lesson addresses "What a...!" How do I say "how kind of you"?
