des efforts vs un effort ... ?I don't think this is a question pertaining to the subjunctive, however, it is something I am unsure about and which appears in this lesson. So I may as well ask here. "... fassions des efforts" - is translated as "... make an effort." But yet, "... fassiez des cookies" is translated as "... make some cookies." Why does one say "des efforts" rather than "un effort" to mean "an effort"? Thanks!!

Gender of hyphenated nounsIn A1, there is a long lesson that tries to tell us how to infer a word's gender based on word ending patterns. Based on that, I can correctly guess that both "lave" and "vaisselle" are feminine, so why does dictionaries tell me "lave-vaisselle" is masculine ?
