Hi, could you explain the purpose of the word “à” in the following French lines please?

“if he lost a game that they were playing together.”

“s'il perdait à un jeu auquel ils étaient en train de jouer ensemble.”

“s'il perdait à un jeu auquel ils jouaient ensemble.”

Hi,

Can anyone explain why sometimes in these types of phrases  plural is used 'nos vies' or sometimes it is expressed in the singular ' leur imagination'

Is it optional or is there a rule governing this?

Thanks

Hi, what triggers the use of the subjunctive “corresponde” in “Avant ce jour béni où tu es entrée dans ma vie, je n'avais jamais imaginé rencontrer quelqu'un qui me corresponde autant que tu me corresponds.”?

Beyond the challenging dictée : What a beautiful, inspiring write-up. Falling deeper in love with French culture. Can't wait to google Coluche after supper. Merci!

In section 3 of the written exercise, Actor Omar Sy, in PLF the pronunciation of "une" in "la série une" sounds like "un" & not like "une".
