There is a typo in the video in the last slide - Their Books
This question relates to:French lesson "Common mistakes with mon/ma/mes, ton/ta/tes and son/sa/ses (French Possessive Adjectives)"
Asked 1 year ago
Hi Shanti,
You are correct and it should be -
Leurs livres = their books
However, as it is a third-party resource we cannot alter it .
Bonne continuation!

Hi Shanti,
On the face of it, no I don't think that you are wrong.
This possessive adjective should accord with the plural noun.
On the lesson site, you should report this point by using the "Report a problem" facility.

It is a bit more complicated : https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/possessive-adjectives-plural-possessions/
See section on leur/leurs depending on shared/unshared possessions
The video is an external link, not one kwiziq can modify.
