question with noun

if there is a noun at the begining of the sentence we have two ways to ask a question ;

est-ce que henry a un sac?

henry a-t-il un sac
can we use the "a" at the begining of the question word?
for example A henry un sac or "ont les femmes des crayons? does it work?

I wish your helps
Thank you so much

ont crié

Hi, I was surprised to see that “tous mes amis ont crié” did not use “criés”. Is this because “tous mes amis” is singular (a single group)? And would “mes amis ont criés” be correct (linguistically speaking, not a group, but multiple individuals)?

Help plz. One sentence with "dont" causes great frustrations

While studying with a french article online, I found this sentence driving me crazy for 3 days....... I would greatly greatly appreciate for any help...

Im wondering how "dont" works in the sentence.. Does it mean "including"? Or is it "de + qui/que"??

The word "certains" comes right after the "dont" causes more frustration to me.... Cuz i cannot figure out the reason for that....

Im also wondering why the adverb "impossible" is there without the verb "être"... Does French omit "qui est" like English "which is"?

Mis-spelling

During the exercise we see “ognon” instead of “oignon”, although this mistake is not present in the consolidated block of text at the end of the exercise. Here’s a copy/paste of the line during the exercise: “et mélangez-la avec l'ognon et l'ail finement hachés”

Passé Composé

Dear Kwiziq team,

I would be grateful if you could explain how the past participle is formed, there is nothing about this in this lesson and I think that it would be useful to know it so to use the Passé Composé correctly. Could you please explain.

Merci,

Apostolos

I used the work bateaux for the plural of boats. The quiz marked that answer as wrong and said the correct answer is batteaux with (2) T's. why?
