"leur carriere" vs. "leurs carrieres"I wrote "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing multiple actresses and their careers. This was marked wrong.
I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this topic, and there are several examples, such as "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this topic has come up in the Q&A before, but I am still confused as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular when one is referring to more than one person and their possessions. In this case, it seems that saying "leur carriere" would imply that all the actresses are sharing the same career.
Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I enjoyed learning about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her.
Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)
Merci a tous et bonne continuation !
P.S. Apologies if this question appears twice - the first time I posted it, it simply disappeared, so I've rewritten it here.

I received a quiz question: "The French Revolution lasted from 1789 to 1799." It directed me to this lesson but I'm not seeing where this lesson tells you about what to use between two years?
Why is it c'est here and not il?
Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, c'est très joli!
Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence
Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever
I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?
Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?
Thanks,
Max
The last time, 13h15, doesn't seem to fit, unless it is the next day. Am I missing something?
Peut-on dire : qu'est-ce qui est dans la boîte ? Ou faut-il dire qu'y a-t-il dans la boîte ?
is translated above as:
I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes
I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.
For in countries/cities, I always thought it was either "à" (usually for cities, except for a small number of cases e.g. au Canada, au Japon), and "en" for countries.
E.g. J'habite à Melbourne.
J'habite en Australie.
However the above example says j'habite DANS le Yorkshire... how can you live INSIDE a place?
In this exercise, we could use faire face à qqch and affronter to express face something, and what about envisager?
Could we use this verb to express the same meaning?
Thank you.
