m'endormeMa mère me berçait dans ses bras jusqu'à ce que je m'endorme. This sentence confuses me. What tense is m'endorme? Is that present tense? Why is it present tense here? Shouldn't it be l'imparfait as well? Merci.

Rule for Nouns beginning with H

Please confirm. The masculine forms bel, nouvel and vieil are used before a noun that begins with a VOWEL. This rule does not apply to a noun that begins with an H? Par exemple: Regarde ces vieux hommes. Merci.

When to use il fallait que

The question asks for a correct translation of this sentence "I must have heard a suspicious noise to get up." The answer given in the quiz is "Il faut que j'aie entendu un bruit suspect pour me lever." Why doesn't Il faut have to be in the past given that aie entendu is in the past? "Il fallait que j'aie entendu . . . ."
