Les lui, Les leur...when using passe compose...does the past participle change?

Hi,

I am seeing the past participle agreeing in number, adding "s" when I see les lui or les leur

What do I need to know about the status of the past participle in an example such as... "Nous les leur avons montrés."

Thank you

A bit off topic, but...In the third example, "Il est important qu'il apprenne ses lecons", how come it's not "c'est important"?

Position of adjectivesYou have given us the general rule and exceptions. This is good. But scrolling down further I find a mind boggling array of existent exceptions. Can I choose to ignore and not worry about those for the short and mid term progress with the language?

Is there a reason that 'juste' is used with rater? Is it being used to describe the degree to which the train was missed?

Quel que/qui que/quoi que/quelque...que

Hello Kwiziq members, I know we haven't talked about the topic of expressing "no matter what/who/when/how/where" here? But can we create an article and talk about this in depth?

1. How to use quel que/qui que/quoi que/quelque que in a sentence?

2. How to use peu importe in a sentence?

3. What is the difference between these two?

Merci beaucoup!
