Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?

Johnny

if it start with y is it will be mon or ma

in this example, two questions:

Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!

1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?

2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?

I've always found it confusing to use both of them like in this phrase is it les œufs en chocolats or les œufs de chocolats?

Having this question in the quiz, I understand why the answer should be "son". What I don't understand is why there is no "pas" in the negative expression? (n'a oublié pas son billet)?

In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme!  My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ».  I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.

where does the 'd' before 'y' come from
