"He's thinking of his holidays.  He's thinking of it."

Can I suggest that "He's thinking of his holidays.  He's thinking of them." would be better?

Could you say "jusqu'à ce que j'aie trouvé la personne" instead of "jusqu'à ce que je trouve la personne"?

Hi there! Wondering if you could explain why sometimes "have been + verb" is in the present and sometimes the passé?

E.g.  "... l"alsace est multilingue..." (Alsace has been multilingual...) vs. "l'Alsace a gardé son multilinguisme" (Alsace has kept it's multilingualism) 

Merci d'avance!

“Sa mère et moi l'avons seulement assistée avec les démarches administratives.”. Hi, ”sa mère” (mother is female) “et moi” (“moi” is the father, who is male) “avons assistée” (first-person plural passé composé). We have a mixture of male and female forming the “we”, so should the past participle be “assisté” and not “assistée”? Thanks. 

I was just listening to this exercise and came upon this sentence:

En une quinzaine d'années, c'est devenu le rendez-vous incontournable des amateurs de musiques dites "extrêmes".

The word quinzaine does not appear to be correctly recorded, it sounds way off to my ears.

In two places in this exercise the adjective precedes the noun.  I don't understand why.  Can someone explain?  The situations were "L'imposant animal" and "riches plantations."  Thanks.

For The exhibition also showed the history of the place, I put, L'exhibition montait également l'histoire du lieu, whereas the correction told me it was L'exposition montrait également l'histoire du lieu. Doesn't the extra 'r' indicate 'would show' rather than "showed"? 

Why is the correct answer « fusilier » not « tirailleur »?

He quit smoking for five months but when the sun returned he started going out again?  Is “when the sun returned” an expression meaning when warm weather returned?
