Singular They

The questions regarding the quiz for this lesson don't take into account singular they.

"Il faut manger", could absolutely be translated as "They must eat." unless there's something I'm missing.

Passer avec être ou avoir

Why is « ils sont passées »correct when one says « They passed the morning bringing eggs.. » Isn’t « to pass the morning » or « to pass the weekend » a transitive use of the verb, therefore « avoir »?

Why the use of imparfait in "je voulais vérifier quel type d'oreillers..." Wouldn't that be like saying I was wanting? The English used I wanted,

so I used the p.c.

"We are going to offer you..."

To translate the above phrase, why are you recommending the futur ("nous vous offrons") only and not also the futur immédiat ("nous allons vous offrir"). If the "futur immédiat" is not possible, why? If it is, why is the "futur" preferable?

Merci à l'avance

Using avoir in future anterior

Why is this incorrect?

They will have been experts in their field

Elles auront été .....

When I click on 'explain this' I see conjugation of avoir in future anterior. But the question said I should use être not avoir. One of the examples given has the same construction. Why cant I use avoir? I'm confused now how to form ' will have been. Advice appreciated

Thanks
