passive voice with simple tenses

Marie était (l'imparfait, être) réveillée (past participle, singular, fem)par les oiseaux tous les matins. Why not use the infinitive rather than past participle? or should it be passe compose?

Ils parlent ________ , je ne comprends pas

I don't understand why Kwiziq is marking "le chinois" as nearly correct here (with chinois) being the right answer.

The lesson clearly says:

Unlike in English, definite articles (le,la,l',les) are used with titles, languages & academic subjects in French.

It then says the definite article is optional for parler + [language].

And gives the example:

Il parle portugais. / Il parle le portugais.He speaks Portuguese.

C'est dommage

Ils me rappellent de Milli Vanilli. Pourquoi est-ce que nous perdons notre temps en discutant ces individus stupides? Perdonnez-moi; je suis un veillard qui ne possede rien intérêt en tels idiots!

Why don't i have access to kwiziq questions after an article

I have been subscribed to Lawless French for many years and appreciate your lessons, and also the Kwizig quizzes at the end of each lesson, but recently where I read "Test yourself on some of the French grammar used in this article" no quiz follows. Can you tell me why??

"Veux-tu je vais là-bas?"

Can we use "Veux-tu je vais là-bas ?" as well as "Veux-tu que j'aille là-bas ?"? If yes, what is the difference between them?

There had to be - passé composé?

I know this lesson is about the plus que parfait but to say "had to", can you also use the passé composé? For example, he had to leave before 5. "Il a dû partir à 5 heures.

The instruction for this question asked for the conditionnel passé not the passé composéThe answer wanted was the passe composé yet the question asked to translate the sentence in the conditionnel passé
