She loves her parent,  versus, She loves her parents. I felt it should be 'Elle aime son parent" and in the plural, " Elle aime ses parents". I cannot understand why both reverso and google keep giving me the translation with 'ses" for BOTH forms.

Could someone kindly elaborate on the grammatical structure behind instances when ‘ne’ and ‘pas’ occur side-by-side, like ‘Tu peux ne pas venir’ and ‘Prière de ne pas déranger’ please?

These are the examples given:

- parler : nous parlons (we are talking) -> je parlais

- finir : nous finissons (we are finishing) -> je finissais

- faire : nous faisons (we are doing) -> je faisais

- prendre : nous prenons (we are taking) -> je prenais

All the verbs have the same ending despite the subject. Perhaps I'm missing something
