Q1) Isn't this correct?

Vous m'y avez parlé. [You spoke to me there.]     (Parler à)

Q2) Isn't the scenario of Indirect Object Pronoun/COI with Adverbial Y possible? If not, why?? 

Q3) And similarly, vice-versa the scenario of Direct Object Pronoun/COD with Adverbial En is also not possible?? Hence, is it a rule that it will always be [COD + y] and [COI + en] in Double Pronouns??

In the question "Nous ________ les cheveux.” (We brushed our hair) (HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) in the compound past (Passé Composé)), why is “nous sommes brossé” preferred over “nous sommes brossés”?

I think that “we” is plural, so the correct response should be “brossés” with the “s”.

Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?

Why is it c'est here and not il?
Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, c'est très joli! 

In this exercise, we could use faire face à qqch and affronter to express face something, and what about envisager? 

Could we use this verb to express the same meaning? 

Thank you.

I wrote "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing multiple actresses and their careers. This was marked wrong.

I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this topic, and there are several examples, such as "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this topic has come up in the Q&A before, but I am still confused as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular when one is referring to more than one person and their possessions. In this case, it seems that saying "leur carriere" would imply that all the actresses are sharing the same career.

Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I enjoyed learning about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her. 

Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)

Merci a tous et bonne continuation !

P.S. Apologies if this question appears twice - the first time I posted it, it simply disappeared, so I've rewritten it here. 

Please help for the following : 

What are the differences between these two sentences

1) Il habite à dix minutes de Marseille. 

2) Il habite à 10 min de Marseille. 

My answer was the number one, but the Kwiziq marked it wrong. 

Thank you!

I received a quiz question: "The French Revolution lasted from 1789 to 1799." It directed me to this lesson but I'm not seeing where this lesson tells you about what to use between two years?

Hi Kwiziq

When trying to answer the waterpolo query, my study notes indicated most of the time “jouer à” was used for team sports; plus if a ball is used, also “jouer à”.

I therefore used jouer, and it was marked wrong and I was supposed to use “faire de”.  

Any comments on how you can help us to remember/learn this topic?  

Thank you in anticipation.
