why are you using mon devoir for homework.   I thought it should always be mes devoirs

Bonjour Jane,

You're right that, usually and most commonly, you will use "mes devoirs" to mean your homework in general. In this context, "mon devoir" is correct because the person is talking about a specific piece of homework.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
