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 !
What convention is usually used when the prepositions "à" or "de" are before the title of a book that begins with "le" or "les", for example "les miserables?"
Will it follow the same preposition structure? Like au, aux, du, des?
Hi, if I was to say ‘I have been learning French since I was in school’, would I say: ‘J’apprends français depuis j’étais à l’école’ or ‘j’apprends français depuis je suis à l’école’? I am no longer in school so I’m thinking it may be the former however I’m not sure if the whole sentence needs to be in the present tense. Thanks
I answered "le votre". Would I say "le tienne" to a stranger, for example?
In example
Why venions? Subjunctive?
sorry if this is a stupid question but why isn't visiter written in the infinitive form after a conjugated verb (rendre)

Why is there so much emphasis on this when it’s only used in serious written French.
At a minimum, it seems like there should be a conjunction or a que to better structure the sentence.
Anyway, can someone translate/explain this sentence?
