Doubt about the word 真 When it is intensifying an adjective that is only one character long , you must not use 的 to connect the 真 to that adjective (Example: 你的房子真大啊!) but when the adjective is two or more characters long , i have to add the 的 to connect them or is it optional?

Optional. And you need 很 with it. 你真漂亮！Correct. 你真的很漂亮！Correct. More intensive. 真的=truely 很=very 你真的漂亮！Incorrect. Understandable though.

I should say it depends.真/真的 sometimes very difficult to diversify because they have exactly same meanings, Chinese differ their use only for habit and the adjectives you use after 真/真的。天气真好！ Weather is really good! 天气真的不错。 Weather is really good. 你真漂亮！ You are so beautiful! 你真的很漂亮！You are truly beautiful!
