French language Q&A Forum

I've read through alot of the Q&A below. I still dont get it. Why does the title of this lesson say that J'allais + infinitive expresses the near future. To me, and looking at the examples in english eg. she was going to call ...., is that not the recent past? Merci. 

Bon jour, j'habite à Chicago. Mon parents habitent à NYC. 
Où habitez-vous?
Où habitez des girafe?

Où habitent Mark Carney? Il habite à Toronto ou à Ottawa?

Bon soir,
Claire

The example that brought me here was J'ai déjà travaillé dans un restaurant. The lesson says that the adverb is placed after the past participle,  but the correction places it before the past participle

Is there a difference between using 'nous' and 'on' when using the aller verb?

I’ve written "Peut-être pourrais-je demander" instead of "Peut-être que je pourrais demander". Are both equal or is there a difference in formality?

So I wanted to test my proficiency at the A0 level, so I chose the Kwiz A0 option from my focus tab. In there, there was a question about Louvre, where I put "C'est quoi" as the answer, and it got marked incorrect. The answer was supposed to be "Qu'est-ce que c'est". But coming back to this lesson, I couldn't figure out the difference between either of the phrases, or any difference regarding when and where they should be used. So I'm just a bit confused right now. Would like some help.

I thought adverbs can only modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

How come the adverb 'bientôt' is placed before the nound 'les vacances"?

The bolding/unbolding doesn't always make this very clear.  So, please can someone clarify the rule on thousands in French?

Hello. I was doing a B1 writing exercise called "Spanish Cooking". Why is "but I struggled more with the tortilla." translated as "J'ai eu plus de mal" and not "J'ai eu plus DU mal"?

I don't understand why this sentence could have is avait pu, where in no. 4 the answer is aurait pu, both meaning "could have"
