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)

1 nous avions chaussé nos après-skis: I’m guessing this means they were shod in snow boots, but was curious why après-skis is pluralised with an s on the end - nos après-ski was marked wrong.
2 Les enfants étaient tout excités : I should know, but if the children were girls, would it be tout excitées or does the adjective have to agree with "enfants"? It was a good opportunity to revise the complex rules around "tout" modifying an adjective!
My immediate instinct was to use "Attention ! Le mélange ne devrait pas trop chaud," but it was marked incorrect. In this particular context, is there a hard reason why it is better to use "Le mélange ne doit pas être trop chaud" instead?
Hello, if "la perruque" is female, why its "noir" and not "noire"?
