Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?

I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary. 

As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!

The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."

Please help me!

Just a question concerning the reference to Finir as the Regular 2nd group of -ir verbs; and Partir as Irregular 3rd group of -ir verbs.

Is there an explanation somewhere of the groups of verbs that are being referred to here? What is the Regular 1st group -ir verbs, etc.?

‘Ce n’est que au petit matin’ : pourquoi pas ‘ce n’était  que au petit matin’?

This is a technical issue.  Listening to the full text playback for this exercise, often when I press pause the playback continues, or continues then stops randomly, or continues with an overlap delay.  I have the same problem with all of the full text writing exercise playbacks.  Am I doing something wrong?

... s'il  vous plait.

It says standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine.. what if the word is feminine, does it just not work ?? like c'est belle? or c'est fantastique??

In the lesson above, the translation is given as "will have been" and "would have been" respectively.  How do I distinguish between them in choosing the right translation?  Thank you 

A kwiz I took marked "seize heures moins vingt" as incorrect (correct answer "quinze heures quarante").Am I to understand that you can't use "moins" constructions for >12 hours at all? In this lesson you only mention "moins le quart" being wrong.
