When would you use the masculine form of a pronoun for a feminine nounwould you use pronouns ending in 'n' (mon, ton, son) for nouns that begin with vowel or silent h? In doing a recent quiz for the noun 'petite amie' a 'sa' was used... should son have been used instead?

This is weird! I type and it shows blank!Now I cannot figure out "plus-que-parfait"! Even J'avais is "I had"! So, how do I know if it is "J'avais" or "J'ai eu" that has to be used? Sorry, just cannot find the answer!

Votre comportement __________ toute l'enquête.I wrote "Votre comportement avez compromis" and it was marked wrong, the correct answer given was "a compromis". Why is the answer 2nd person singular when the subject is 2nd person plural? What am I forgetting?

3rd person plural possessive for a plural nounThere was a question on a recent quiz as follows: "Il faut qu'ils obtiennent leur permis de conduire," with English translation something like "They have to get their driving license." The quiz question was about the subjunctive of obtenir (which I got right), but I am just wondering about the use of leur rather than leurs. Translated strictly, I suppose leur is correct, but in both English and French I would have thought "their driving licenses = leurs permis de conduire" would be more accurate, since they each need to have their own license, not a single license among them? Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards.
