Answers!

1. Nous ne regardons pas le film qui est venu de Dakar.
1. regardons: present tense
2. qui: subject ("the film is coming")
3. est venu: past tense of verb of motion uses être as helping verb (p. 60)
2. Nous n'avons pas regardé le film que tu as recommandé  OR
   ...que vous avez recommandé.
1. n'avons pas regardé: regular past tense
2. que: direct object ("you recommended the film")
3. as recommandé: regular past tense
3. Nous ne regardions pas le film dont tu as parlé  OR...dont vous avez parlé.
1. regardions: imperfect
2. dont: "of which" (imagine de + que)
3. as parlé: regular past tense
4. Nous ne regarderons pas le film dont les vedettes seront ici en juin.
1. regarderons: regular future tense
2. dont: "whose" (or "of whom")
3. seront: irregular future tense
5. La fille que Claude aime va à Paris régulièrement.
1. que: direct object ("Claude likes her") 
2. va: irregular present tense
6. La fille qui aime Claude est allée au parc.
1. qui: subject ("She likes Clause")
2. est allée: past tense of verb of motion uses être as helping verb (p. 60); also, when you use être as your past tense helping verb, you have to make the participle agree with the subject.
7. La fille que nous avons vue allait au lac.
1. que: direct object ("we saw the girl")
2. avons vue: irregular past tense (and don't sweat the -e ending here, but know that Rule #3 on p. 314 explains that the past participle has to agree with the direct object pronoun que)
3. allait: imperfect
8. La fille dont le livre j'ai trouvé ira à la bibliothèque.
1. dont: whose
2. ai trouvé: regular past tense
