Please post vocabulary for basic maths here. It only says "manger" in the vocab when the topic is basic maths.

Why would we use « leur histoire » for « their stories »? It is confusing because some of your alternative phrases use « leurs histoires »and some use « leur histoire ». Is there a lesson on this?

In the sentence " I also don't like some soccer fans " I used "je n'aime pas aussi" but the correction said it is "je n’aime pas non plus"

What is the reasoning here? When I read the grammar lesson behind it, it says "non plus" is more like "not...either" which is definitely not the same meaning as also in English. 

when we want to describe someone's profession using 'faire', must we use partitive article?

Thanks

I used posé in "et j'y ai placé les tranches de pomme" and it says it is wrong. What is the difference between the verbs poser and placer? 

In a lot of the French sentences on Kwiziq, the stress sounds like it is on an odd part of the sentence and I can't figure out the pattern. For example, in "Tu te laves les mains?" above, the word laves is stressed in the recording. And the voice doesn't rise at the end like I would expect for a question. Is that how the question would really be spoken in French? Is there a section here that explains which parts of a sentence are normally stressed?

Pierre joue mal,  Louis joue encore plus mal que lui, mais c'est Karl qui joue le plus mal. Can 'pire' be used instead of the 2nd and 3rd highlighted adverbs?  Also is pire=le pire? "the worst"? E.g.  C'est le pire film.  (Its the worst film.) Thanks in advance.

So "demeurer" sounds "posh"? What about "habiter"? Don't they mean the same thing?
