      Many thanks, I have been researching "where are stone mountain purses made?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Teyadoon Unflappable Transcendence - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to find luxury or designer goods at wholesale or lower prices without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.

    Many thanks for this trick. I am french and had some students in my hospital, who came from Roumania, and was totally unable to explain why "un noir chat" or a lot of different cases were totally wrong. I have no more students and will soon be retired, but I'm very pleased to learn when to place the adjective before or after the noun. I will let know your mnemonic to my friends, as it seems the more often right.
    Sincerly yours,
    Milos

    The adjectives "other" (autre[s]) and "same" (même[s]) are also always placed before a noun: "même" placed before a noun is "same", and when placed after a noun is "very". Also, there are other adjectives that go before a noun that have a special form used for masculine singular nouns that begin with a vowel sound: beau, fou, mou, nouveau, and vieux. The special forms for these adjectives homophonically sound like the feminine singular counterparts: belle, folle, molle, nouvelle, and vieille, where the last "le" ending is dropped from these forms to form the version used for masculine singular nouns that start with a vowel sound. The plural versions are still beaux, fous, mous, nouveaux, and vieux for masculine nouns and belles, folles, molles, nouvelles and vieilles for feminine nouns.
