Leur carriere vs. leurs carrieresI wrote, "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing several actresses and their careers, but this was marked wrong.
I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this subject, and there are several examples including: "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this issue has come up in the discussions before, but I am still not clear as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular form when referring to more than one person and their possessions. Using the singular form makes it sound, (to me anyway), as if these actresses have all shared the same career.
Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)
I appreciate any help on this matter. Otherwise, it was fun to learn all about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her!
Bonne Continuation !

Why we have "Qu'est-ce que serait Pâques sans chocolat" and Not "Qu'est-ce que Pâques serait sans chocolat".
Kind of looks like inversion which we don't do with est-ce que
My answer:
Et, en dépit d'elle, Katia commença à espérer.
Lawless answer:
Et, malgré elle, Katia commença à espérer.
I'm not sure why my answer was not accepted. Appreciate any insight. Thanks!
I can't figure this out: When does "pas encore" mean not again?
If I search on google translate or deepl or reverso context for example, all translations of "not again" are "pas encore".
Why? if it is supposed to be incorrect.
From the answers I see to this question in this discussion, we are expected to look through something like 1200 verb conjugations to find which ones fit this category. Even on the Lawless site for Irregular ir verbs, it lists the irregular ir verbs, but only one that changes in the future to an er verb conjugation. Where can one get a simple list of the ir verbs that change to er verb conjugations in the future tense?
How do you know whether or not an adjective goes before or after the noun?
In one quiz, a sentence reads J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons”. I filled the blanks correctly because the tips said to use the subjunctive, but I don't understand why the subjunctive is used here. "I was like your son until one day I went to the library ...", something that definitely happened in the past, so I would have written "je suis allé dans la bibliothèque ... et je me suis mis à dévorer ..." I'm also surprised by the second "que" before "je me mette". Can you give me some insight?
