Why would you say "chez pharmacie" instead of "à la pharmacie"?

Il faut faire *son* litIn one of the questions the expression `Il faut faire son lit` was translated as "You must make your bed". Is `il faut`, like `on`, requiring the use of the 3rd person? Would it be grammatically wrong to say `Il faut faire ton lit`? What about `Il faut faire mon lit` if it's my bed that you must make? Thanks you in advance.

Je vais au restaurant (near future?)

The question was what does the following mean: "Je vais au restaurant plus tard" and one of the answers I picked was, I will come to the restaurant later." It was marked wrong. But I just took a lesson on using the present tense to describe the near future. I'm confused.

Comment ça se fait qu'il faille se subjonctif avec cette construction?(Sorry, couldn't resit.) Into which category does this example fall. It is obviously not a conjunction that triggers the subjonctif here and I also don't see any of the verbs that normally ask for subjonctif - or anything else I've encountered so far with respect to the subjonctif.

l'écriture (f)The noun 'écriture' (handwriting) is feminine. But apparently the correct translation of "We cannot read his handwriting" is 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire son écriture'. I was using an exercise book and I thought the answer in the back might be a mistake, but Google Translate also comes up with the same translation. La bonne phrase est 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire sa écriture', n'est-ce pas?
