French language Q&A Forum

Dear Kwiziq team,

I would be grateful if you could explain how the past participle is formed, there is nothing about this in this lesson and I think that it would be useful to know it so to use the Passé Composé correctly. Could you please explain.

Merci,

Apostolos

Is this transcript of the audio correct? It sounds like he says 'je ne pense pas que ce soit possible' - and surely that is what is called for?

Nous avons attendu pendant qu'il changeait le pneu.  

Why is 'que' needed? The 2nd clause uses the imparfait. So, except for le present, can other tenses follow 'pendant que' ?

Could you say "jusqu'à ce que j'aie trouvé la personne" instead of "jusqu'à ce que je trouve la personne"?

When is "le" omitted from "le français"? Is it only with "parler", or is there a general rule? I ask in relation to this Q&A:

"He will study either French or Italian" = "Il étudiera soit le français soit l'italien".

In the exercise "Hanoucca dans ma famille (Vocabulaire)", it is spelled "hanoukkia" with two k's. Are both spellings correct, or just one? Thank you!

One of the examples given is:

- T'appelles-tu Martine?

- Is your name Martine?

How would one say "Is my name Martine?"

My ear says that the kind of inversion describe in this lesson ("M'appelle-je Martine?") isn't allowed in French for the first person singular. But I could be wrong.

In any case, it'd be helpful to add either an example, or a specific note that this isn't allowed, to the lesson. Thanks!
