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 answered "avoir révisée" because "tu es allée" tells me tu is feminine but the correct answer given is "avoir revise".
What am I missing"
Another who has fallen foul of the "Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux" question. Please add the exception to the lesson.
These exercises are so helpful. Could please explain the usage of "en" in the phrase "Si j'en avais les moyens?" Why is not simply "Si j'avais les moyens?"
Why is pas not used in this example? "...je ne le pensais pas"? What is the concept/rule that I'm missing here?
Tu parles moins que je ne le pensais.
