Pourquoi "quart" n'est pas d'accord avec le mot "heure"?J'aime beaucoup essayer mon français, mais pardonnez mes erreurs s'il vous plait.

Je ne comprends pas quand on parole du temps, pourquoi le mot "quart" ne doit pas être d'accord avec les heures ; pendant le mot "demi" doit changer.

Merci beaucoup!

Why don't we use gerunds in these casesI understand en buvant. But why is this incorrect: Sans me pressant (instead of presser) Avant partant (instead of partir) On passerait la journée discutant (instead of discuter)

Off-topic: chercher vs pour chercher

Unrelated but in the example "Elle est descendue à la cave chercher une bouteille de vin." Why wasn't "pour chercher" used rather than just "chercher"? Is there a difference in meaning?

Present tense as apposed to the imperfect and passé compose.

Is it always the case that one uses the present tense after depuis que rather than the imperfect and passé composé as in " Since I was small, I travelled a great deal"?

The use of "assez" confuses me.

Pls is "assez" still serving as adverbe in a sentence where 'être' is used. - "Ma Ville est assez banale". Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire, s'il vous plaît?

Complicated way of saying 'what is'

In the sentence 'Savez-vous ce que c'est qu'une "irrizina" ?', what is that second 'que' before the 'une' ?
