Leur carriere vs. leurs carrieresI wrote, "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing several actresses and their careers, but this was marked wrong.
I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this subject, and there are several examples including: "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this issue has come up in the discussions before, but I am still not clear as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular form when referring to more than one person and their possessions. Using the singular form makes it sound, (to me anyway), as if these actresses have all shared the same career.
Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)
I appreciate any help on this matter. Otherwise, it was fun to learn all about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her!
Bonne Continuation !
It seems that inoubliable is an adjective for année, with "et ce film" being only an interjection, so that inoubliable should be singular. If it were written "qui rendront cette année et ce film" then the plural would be required.
I found this really hard to follow. I had to repeat each section multiple times to try and figure out what was being said. The person speaks really fast and runs everything together, so words get swallowed in the elisons... I guess with more practice it will come, but maybe on the B2 end of B1?
During a quiz, the question posed was,
Vous _______________ dans le placard.
I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused.
Why does the verb 'détester' not require the ne explétif in this sentence: Les filles détestent que vous les embêtiez.
Yes Paul. I agree with you. I never learned phrases like that in school. Would they be commonly used ie. Should I try to use them in conversation or would I get funny looks, haha?

I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.
Can you please share the rule regarding placement of 'Ne...Aucun/Aucune' in Compound Tenses?? It does not seem to follow the regular rule. It would be great if it is also added to this lesson.
