Doubt in accords

Bonjour Cécile,

I have observed that while writing passé composé,two types of sentences are possible-

1.Où êtes-vous allé en vacances?

2.Où êtes-vous allés en vacances?

Why has the extra "s" been added in second sentence although both are congucated with "vous" form?

Pls guide with this rule.

Thanks in advance

Also Madame Pls spare some time of yours to answer the below query of mine asked 3 days ago-

Hello, I am trying to understand why the article is written in present tense but the translations are in the past tense? Thank you.

Is the pronunciation of j’aurais and j’aurai identical in French spoken in Canada? I thought that some regions -ai = é and -ais = è.

In the Charles Aznavour song it's "On a tort de penser, je sais bien, aux lendemains". I'm confused by the lendemains as it is in the present tense and referring to the future. Why that word? Is this how one would say "tomorrows" in a poetic sense, referring to the future in a boader sense vs. just "tomorrow" as in the day after tomorrow. Could you replace lendemains with something else and still have it make sense?

Does habiter need a prepositionIn my book 501 French verbs it teaches that the verb habiter doesn't require a preposition so, J'habite cette maison, is acceptable.

Is "J'habite à [city] an exception? Is "J'habite [city]" acceptable?

when to use aimer/adorerI'm still struggling to get my head around the nuances of aimer and adorer, even though I have read through the lesson a number of times. Can anyone suggest a useful additional resource to help me?
