Agreement question

This question got marked "Incorrect" because the past participle didn't have the "e" at the end: Je félicitais Julie pour être parti à temps. The subject/actor in this sentence could be either male or female. Should the past participle agree with the indirect object ("Julie", in this case)? Or with the Subject, "Je"? If the agreement is with the subject, then either "partie" or "parti" would be correct.

Thanks! Greg

Du de la … is used for some , but what about “of the” from the

I understand that du can be used as some e-g je prende du cafe

But what about these ones ?

où se trouve l'office (de la) du tourisme ? Can it be used as of ?

avez-vous un guide de la ville ?

je viens du super marché

What does du , de and du means here ?

Qu'est-ce que c'estWhy is Qu'est-ce que prefered over Qu'est-ce que c'est for what is the louvre. Infact Qu'est-ce que c'est was marked wrong.

On a childhood record album, I learnedAinsi font, font, font les petites marionettes. Ainsi font, font, font trois petits tours et puis s'en vont! (Although I had incorrectly remembered it as 'et puis s'en va'.)Now I know better! Merci!

Instead of "Je ne fais pas de bruit," is "Je ne fais aucun de bruit" also acceptable?

Je manque à Alain - Alain misses meI think that is translation is particularly tricky because of the switch from me in English to I in French. Can you please include it in the examples for this lesson?

Use of 'auquel' / 'à qui' instead of 'que'

In the lesson ‘Que = Whom, which, that (relative pronouns)’ an example sentence is given as:

‘La femme que je dessine’

An example sentence from this lesson is: ‘Le chat, auquel tu as fait peur’ OR ‘Le chat, à qui tu as fait peur’

I’m struggling to understand why is ‘Le chat, que tu as fait peur’ is not used?

Thanks
