Impossible concept! How bad can it sound to a native speaker if I get this wrong? They always ask if I speak English, anyway, every time I speak French.
The correct answer is: mais ce matin, j'ai reçu un email qui m'informait que cet article était à présent en rupture de stock
but why not .....qui m'a informé que cet article est à présent en rupture de stock.
he knew that : "I was playing football" =direct speech
he knew that I had been playing football=indirect speech
or
he knew that "I used to play football" = direct speech
he knew that I used to play football=indirect speech
How can I create "indirect speech" for these sentences
will you please help me? Thank you

Why is it "Bien qu'il soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre...", and not "Bien que ce soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre..." ? I thought that you have to use "c'est" (and not "il est") with a noun that has an article and an adjective.
The quick quiz offers this:

Doesn't it mean "You are queueing with MY mother"? which is not one of the choices in the exercise.
Why does the question asking for the conjugation of s'asseoir mark the answer "Nous nous assoyons" in favour of "Nous nous asseyons" when according to the LESSON on this subject provides both conjugations ?
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.
In the test question: Le policier est descendu à la cave à la recherche de la bête féroce.
May I ask what the pronoun 'la' refer to in 'à la recherche'? and why recherche is not rechercher after the preposition 'à'?
Is there a lesson about the verbes d'état on kwiziq?
It was stated in the questions that a lesson about it was added to to-do-list but I couldn't find one.
Thanks a lot.
