French language Q&A Forum

Hello, I'm wondering why the example in the lesson "J'ai remercié Lucas de m'avoir racompagnée hier" would have the feminine past participle following "m'avoir." Thanks for any help with this. 

Thanks for trying to help Chris but I'm afraid it still doesn't clarify it.  You said that it was asking for the present subjunctive in your 1st answer but in your second answer you say "The PAST subjunctive is used here to express that between" actions " 1) and 2) there is no temporal overlap. "

Perhaps if I ask it a different way 

The English version is  "Before I started to learn french". 'Started" is in the past tense, therefore shouldn't I translate it into the past subjunctive ie  "avant que je n'aie commencé à apprendre le Français"

Thanks

What preposition should we use for:

1) city

2)country

If there are any exception pls mention them.

Dans ce-phrase-ci, pourquoi "d'activité" n'est pas pluriel?

"...ainsi que certains domaines d'activité tels que..."

The text above says "different than" - this is an Americanism.  In British English it should read "different from", or (less favoured) "different to."  However the words are spelt in British English.  I am nitpicking, but isn't this par for the course?! 

I was taught that 'qui' was used when the subject of the verb and 'que' when the object of the verb
