"leur carriere" vs. "leurs carrieres"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.

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.
j'adore la série Lupin et l'acteur Omar Sy. vous avez raison, il possède un charme hors du commun. je l'ai vu pour la première fois dans le film "Les Intouchables". Maintenant, je vais devoir le chercher sur YouTube pour regarder les sketchs! :)
Which is correct je ne veux pas or que ne je voulais pas
Please could you explain why prochain is placed in front of 'concert', when it is normally placed after nouns?
It would be useful to have a quiz in order to practise all the places and buildings in a town. This would help us to consolidate what is actually quite a long list, but very useful vocabulary when one is visiting France.
I'm at >97% on A0 and yet basically all of the questions are A0-related. Any ideas on how to move onto A1 material?

I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this subject, and there are several examples including: "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this issue has come up in the discussions before, but I am still not clear as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular form when referring to more than one person and their possessions. Using the singular form makes it sound, (to me anyway), as if these actresses have all shared the same career.

I appreciate any help on this matter. Otherwise, it was fun to learn all about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her!
Bonne Continuation !
In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.
Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:
C'est le fils de Martha
Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?
Is it correct to say “que achètes tu?”
