Answer 2

Here is th link Ocbizlaw provided. You will find more like that under the drop-down under "Learn" at the top bar. There is even a practice quiz attached. Also, go through the Lesson videos. They are also very helpful and most are only about 10 minutes long and very helpful. I go back to them off and on to review.

Adjective Placement

Answer 3

Hi,

I had similar questions a while back. You probably already know, that the vast majority of the time, the adjectives will follow the modified noun. Most of the exceptions are with a relatively few adjectives. I started compiling myself a little list as I come across them. So far, I have:

buen mal gran otro mucho poco este mismo mejor suficiente.

I'm sure there are plenty more, but those are what one is likely to run into fairly soon as a new speaker.
