Why is “personne” plural

Why is personne considered a plural noun? I thought it needed an “s” to be plural.

Hers or someone else's catIn the context of this statement one assumes Marie is caressing her own cat yet when put in the passive voice it could read as though the cat belongs to someone else...maybe not a great example

I would have a big house if I could afford it

"J'aurais une grande maison si j'en avais les moyens"

Why is the imparfait "avais" used here? "Could" is conditional, so why are we not using "pourrais" here?

The multiple choice question in the quiz is: “Marc regarde le film. Il est très bon” means.... I answered - Marc is watching the film. It is very good. I was marked NEARLY correct because I didn’t include the answer: Marc is watching the film. HE is very good. That doesn’t feel like a correct answer to me.

Dîner vs Déjeuner

Hi, I live in Québec and I've been here for quite a while now. Whenever people want to refer to lunch here, they use dîner. Déjeuner is used to mean breakfast, and souper is used to mean lunch. The test said I was wrong when I translated lunch as dîner and I understand that since in France it means a completely different mealtime. Just wanted to post this so that others could be aware of the different vocabulary we use in Québec, since it was really confusing to me for a long time.
