Unfortunately, that is not the case and I can only do so much at this moment. Please bear with me for now, or feel free to visit other French language sites such as Wordreference dot com or French about dot com if this is an emergency. Until then, I will continue answering any questions to be best of my abilities and if time allows.

As for the position of adjectives, that is, before or after a noun, there is indeed a rule to follow. Most French adjectives will come AFTER the noun they describe. For example, <em> Une étoile scintillante </em> (a shiny star), or <em> Un homme paresseux </em> (A lazy man). However, the adjectives belonging to these categories: Beauty/Age/Good (or bad)/Size as well as 'même' (same) and 'autre' (other) will come BEFORE the noun. So for example: J'ai vu une petite souris. (I saw a little mouse) - the adjective petite belongs to the SIZE category and therefore will be place before the noun SOURIS (mouse). I will post a lesson on that a bit later. Hope this helps, Merci! oui, jeune and mince will also work in this case. As for the position of adjectives, that is, before or after a noun, there is indeed a rule to follow.
