Incorrect: 1, 7, 9 (sp), and I have a question about #2. Did those people speak French and then stop, or did they speak French in the past and they still speak it now?
French is still spoken in the province of Quebec. Moreover French is the official language of Canada together with English.
To determine the correct forms of the verbs in parentheses, you need to understand the different forms of verbs: the base form, the present participle, the past tense, and the past participle.
