what am i missing?In a fill-in-the-blank quiz on this topic (Les enfants au restaurant)
I had written as an answer:
"Je crois qu'elle trouve plus rigolo de manger dans mon assietteplutôt que dans le sien!"
The correct answer was "...que dans la sienne."
My logic was that:
1. the pronouns takes the gender and number of the thing being replaced
...what is being replaced is "her plate," which had just been established as masculine.
2. In French, the possessive pronouns agree with the thing possessed and not the owner
3. The possessor is a singular girl, which would explain where a singular feminine "la sienne" COULD come from.
So, why does the correct answer seem to reference the possessor and not the possessed object in this example?
The sound is not clear. I cannot follow the song.
Of course I try to spend less time on social media, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Here is a channel I found, which is fun to listen to, quite easy to understand, and helps to improve how French your French sounds:

The questions regarding the quiz for this lesson don't take into account singular they.
"Il faut manger", could absolutely be translated as "They must eat." unless there's something I'm missing.
Could you use "une petite pause" instead of "Prendre le goûter ?
Could garder instead of tenir be used to "Keep a diary"
What does the d' represent in d'habitude? Does it imply pronoun possession?
I am a little puzzled as to why Kwiziq states has an irregular pp.
My understanding for 're' verbs is to remove the re (batt) and then add u (battu)? It is of course iregular in the present (je bats / nous battons)
