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 :)

"Je vais vous envoyer l'adrésse de mon site web" and "Je vous enverrai l'adrésse de mon site web" both should be correct I think, but the program marks the former as wrong. 

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

Though, Kwiziq doesn’t have any lessons on this particular grammar topic but I would like to ask a few queries pertaining to this concept -

1. Ma mère me dit, < Lève-toi tôt tous les matins.>

I answered - Ma mère me dit de se lever tôt tous les matins.

 Here, the question is whether we have to use “ se lever” or “me lever” ?   I had gone through the rules in my grammar book which states to use the infinitive form of the verb after de when the sentence is in L’Impèratif . So, why is “se lever” wrong here ?

2. Il demande, < Aimez-vous les chiens ? >

Now, I wrote - Il demande si nous aimons les chiens.

However, the right answer was- Il demande s’ils aiment les chiens.

I request you to please explain the reasons behind the above two queries.

A small request, as a student, to take a glimpse of my previous question posted few days back. I know it’s quite a tedious question but I hope it’ll be done.

By the way, to take a glance is “ coup d’œil” - an expression I learnt just now !

Merci encore Madame !

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
