Whenever saying similar to “ mes parents” or “mes sœurs”, what would be the correct verb ending to use?

Would you use the “he/she” verb ending or the “ they” verb ending?

autour de

- i was told that it is always autour DE (by a french conversation teacher), Is this something that is so commonly used incorrectly that it has become acceptable over time? (in one of your examples, and in others from other sites, it is autour DE LA lune, or autour DU monde.)

à l'heure v à temps

Hi, I was doing a writing exercise translating "So that all was ready on time." The correct answer was "Pour que tout soit prêt à temps,"' and not "'Pour que tout soit prêt à l'heure." Why is it better to use à temps in this sentence?
