Another adjective placement questionHola,
To piggyback on David's question about the 'rich hot chocolate', I am also wondering about the 'small religious festival'. I can't remember the hint, but I'm pretty sure it confused me. Maybe, 'small was reinforcing festival'??
So I made a note that hot was reinforcing chocolate and was therefore placed after chocolate in the correction edit, but then when I tried to apply the same rule of small reinforcing festival, meaning it should been placed after festival, (which actually looked and sounded strange to me) it was actually placed before festival.
I am confused!
What is the rule with a reinforcing adj? They are placed before the noun? And is David correct that rich is reinforcing chocolate and not hot?
And reinforcing seems to even be a new descriptive word. I looked back at the lesson and saw highlight, emphasize, differentiate, distinction and extra nuance. What is 'to reinforce' equal to?
I'm not trying to be super picky. I'm just looking for rules to apply in my learning process.
Thanks!
Hi, how can i know when to use an indefinite article? I know to not use it in front of a profession. Thank you,Shirley.
Why were there no quotation marks placed around the word "manolos" in the Kwiziq translation of the penultimate sentence?
Thank you.

Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as: "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".

The correct answer was listed as “La gente siempre quiere …”. My response was “Siempre la gente quiere …” Do you have any guidelines on word sequence/placement? It seems like I’ve seen “siempre” at the beginning of a sentence or clause in other contexts. As always, muchas gracias for your insights!

Does “pienso que no” = “no pienso” = “no lo pienso”? Thanks.
Why the speaker can see him/herself in this time frame? It's obvious that the speaker is talking about someone else.
Thank u so much
