There a probably a lot of example, the main idea behind those examples
is that the position of the adjective is im****tant.
like "une voiture rouge" means a red car.
But "une rouge voiture" doesnt exists/used even if grammatically it is
correct, it is rather a daily use of those words that you will fully
appreciate the meaning e.g. there are no list that have to be learnt.
"une mere belle", a good looking mother
"une belle mere", step mother
