On peut dire aussi "Je puis", je crois. Mais c'est pas accepté dans les quiz. Pourquoi?

3rd person plural possessive for a plural nounThere was a question on a recent quiz as follows: "Il faut qu'ils obtiennent leur permis de conduire," with English translation something like "They have to get their driving license." The quiz question was about the subjunctive of obtenir (which I got right), but I am just wondering about the use of leur rather than leurs. Translated strictly, I suppose leur is correct, but in both English and French I would have thought "their driving licenses = leurs permis de conduire" would be more accurate, since they each need to have their own license, not a single license among them? Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards.

Nous avons reçu les invitées hier ou nous avons eu les invitées hier?Quel est la réponse correcte? Je ne pense pas qu'on puisse se servir (utiliser) le verbe avoir dans ce cas. D'habitude, je reçois les invitées, n'est-ce pas?

Avoir beau / pourvu que / en attendant etc. Est-ce que c'est nécessaire qu'on apprenne les phrases tel que avoir beau, pourvu que, quoique, en attendant que et à condition que... Vraiment, ça n'est pas une bonne question Je sais qu'on doit apprendre toute la langue. Mais, je n'en ai jamais vu dans les examens que vous avez présenté. Hier soir, notre prof (une française) nous a introduit tel que phrases. C'est important qu'on apprenne celles qui sont listé ci-dessus? Peut-être et en toute possibilité je n'ai pas écrit ma question correctement. Mais je l'ai essayé. J'aime bien votre site. Don

Verbs + prepositionI am confused here. The question says "arriver" is "to manage". However is "arriver" not "to arrive" and "arriver à" is "to manage"?
