how to know if cadeau is singular or plural??

in the text, you start by saying 'ils leur ont préparé un cadeau....'  Singular.

but at the end, you say '....de si jolis cadeaux'.  It is hard to know if it is plural or not by just listening, especially when we started with just the one.

Accents on u in "eûmes" and "eûtes"According to the spelling reform accents on u and i should be dropped unless needed to distinguish words. You do not seem to apply the reform.

Lack of pas in written languageI have quite often noticed that pas or other negative word is missing in written French, in newspapers and in books. I don't have an example at hand, though. Why is this and when can it happen?
