Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?

I understand why we use the definite article for one and possessive adjective for the other buy why are they both singular?

Still unsure about when to use article “le” and days of the week. Could you elaborate more on this idea of specific context, maybe w an example or two? 

My performance on this was dismal (lugubre). I don’t think it was me. It is too difficult for A1, à mon avi.

Salut a tous.

Ma question concerne l'utilisation du pronom "dont"  ici. La phrase ci-dessus peut traduire comme soit "The books I think of are remarkable" soit "the books i'm thinking about are remarkable." étant donné que penser peut prendre la préposition 'de', cette dernière formulation permet l'utilisation de "dont", n'est-ce pas ? S'il vous plaît donnez votre avis. Merci en avance.

Vois ici: De qui/dont/duquel = of/about whom, of/about which - with prepositional verbs with "de" (French Relative Pronouns)

The sentence from Aug 1 RFI.  Why the pronoun Y?  What is it replacing, since I don't see an "a + verb" or a place that is normally replaced.

'Après avoir considéré de faire peindre le mur' why is "DE" used? is 'considéré de' an expression

'plutôt que de remettre du papier peint' why is there "DE" here too?

I think Il a économisé en secret should have been accepted

For the phrase

I'd been following his career since the release of C.R.A.Z.Y. in 2005.

The answer was 

Je suivais sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005. 

But could it also be

J'avais été suivi sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005
