Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

The BOLDED letters are what my teachers circled.

Tense doesn't matter since what matters is the object itself: Is it direct or indirect, and if it is indirect, what preposition precedes it?

Anyway

The issue here has to do with the relative pronoun being indefinite. « dont » is referring not to a single object but rather to a whole sentence. In that case, you'd use the indefinite. Example:
« J'aime les pommes qui te plaisent (I love the apples that you like) »
Here, « qui » refers to « les pommes » so it's definite. Notice that the verb « plaire » agrees with the original object.
« J'aime les pommes, ce qui me plait (I love apples, which you like) »
Here, « qui » is referring to the whole sentence before it, « j'aime les pommes », so we add a « ce » before the pronoun. Notice that now « plaire » agrees with « ce qui », a singular pronoun

Indefinite relative pronouns are connectors: they link relative clauses to main clauses and do not not have a specific antecedent.
