Discours indirect?

Bonjour ! J'apprécie vraiment tous l'information sur ce site. Cependant, j'ai remarqué que le discours indirect manque parmi les leçons. Sera-t-il ajouté bientôt ?

J'ai toujours su

We were asked to translate "I always knew." Seems to me this is an ongoing action in the past. A description of the past. I think this should be "Je savais toujours." "J'ai su" is more like "I found out."

Agreement of Participle with Indirect Object

Whoops, my question was posted incomplete.

As I was saying (!), in the examples there is agreement between the indirect object and the participle:

La télé? Oui, Marc l'a regardée

Ces épisodes? Il les avait déjà vus

If this is the case, then shouldn't 'Tu lui as parlé' translate as 'You talked to him', BUT 'Tu lui as parlée translate as 'You talked to her'?

In the writing challenge, the translation from english was, I would never have imagined that which I followed with the subjunctive but the correct answas the conditional. Why? If croire in the negative uses the subjonctive, why not would not have imagined?

Aren't some of the answers to question 1 ambiguous with regard to their correctness? I understand that "Vous pouvez prendre tout ce qu'est sur la table" is the answer to question 1 because it should be using "ce qui" instead of "ce que." But aren't the other questions which use "tout" also possibly incorrect. For example, in "Tout ce qu'il fait m'agace," wouldn't this be incorrect if "tout" was being used as a noun instead of a pronoun? In such case, the "ce" should be dropped to be correct.

Chercher à?Isn't it understood structure "chercher à," thus an indirect object would be used? I put "Il lui cherche" on a kwizz and got it wrong.
