Vous l'avez rencontre a une soiree - you met him at a party

Vous les avez rencontre a une soiree - you met them at a party

Il nous a rencontre a une soiree - he met us at a party

But the moment you talk about yourselves it becomes a reflexive verb, rather than just a special case of the pronoun matching the verb case?

Nous nous sommes rencontres a une soiree - we met (each other) at a party

In the sentence 'au sein des communautés hindoue et sikhe' why are 'hindoue et sikhe' not in the plural form?

Le mot "printannière" n'est pas "printanière"?

The lesson says:  - We use the auxiliary verb être conjugated in a compound tense*, followed by the past participle of the verb.   However, all the examples use avoir, not etre.    I'm assuming etre is a mistake.

Can we use "ne pas" in front of the verb (taught in "Negating infinitives in indirect speech" lesson") with "pour que"? If so, can you give examples?

In this text, "Serviette" qppears to be a beach blanket, though"napkin" is my dictionary definition.  Similarly, "Rayures" are "scratches", "Glaciere"

comme il mâchait la bouche ouverte

I'm wondering why the 2 different verb tenses here.  One act (of seeing) is related to the other act (of chewing) but 2 different tenses were used. 

Dear kwiziq team :)

How do you say in French in order not to or so as not to? For example: In order not to be tired, I went to bed early. Is there a specific pattern we have to use to say this?

An example is

Je veux devenir astronaute. -- I want to become an astronaut.

I assume it can be either!

Hello. 

Could you also say

"Je vous souhaite une belle/bonne journée"?
