French language Q&A Forum

Since the Czech Republic changed their name to Czechia, has the name in French changed? If so what is it? Has the gender changed?

J'avais du mal à bien entendre cette vidéo à cause de la musique.....c'est un problème additionnel pour l'apprenant de français, surtout pour les gens qui sont un peu malentendants. Est-ce que vous pouvez offrir un choix...avec ou sans musique ?

Bonjour! I have not studied  For over 20 years, and I'm trying to learn the things that I have forgotten, as well as to expand my ability. Could you please answer my question about inverting the subject and the verb when asking questions? I was taught that one would say "Faites-vous vos devoirs?" Or "Fais-tu tes devoirs?" When asking questions. Even asking someone their name I've always known that to be Comment vous appelez-vous? In the formal and Comment t'appelles-tu? In the familiar. Why is this method not followed here in the studies? It has me very confused about what I've learned in highschool and I feel like I'm learning a totally different language. Thank you for letting me ask this question here. I don't know where else to ask it. 

In the lesson it says:  In French, you use pour + [durée] only to express a duration in the future., however in Lawless French:

Pour and pendant can replace depuis only when the verb is in the past tense.

I notice that all of the examples here have cues in them to indicate repetitive action. What if the sentence does not contain such cues? Should it be interpreted as continuous action or repetitive action?

e.g. Je faisais du sport.

Without any cues would that mean “I was playing sports” or “I used to play sports” or is it equally ambiguous?
