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 !
I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.
Why are both of these correct:
"Je n'ai vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + nulle part]
"Il n'est jamais allé nulle part." [ne + jamais + nulle part]
But not this:
"Je n'ai pas vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + pas + nulle part]
Should “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais” be “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvaises” so that “mauvaises” agrees with “chaussettes”?
What does this sentence mean, "Elle a posé toutes ses lettres au tour d'après"?
Could anyone explain the use of 'nous' in the second example but not in the first. I would see the constructions as similar.
Is the use of 'nous' in these cases optional?
Thanks guys
Should it not be 'avant qu'on ne parte'?
Regards

Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"
