Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

I mean for the first one i can immediately hear 'ses amis sont des chiens' with liaison

[sharp jacinth]

for the second one, it's forbidden because « sa maison » is a singular noun

but for the first one, i don't know why it's forbidden 🤔

here's the article if you interessed:

[fathom fulcrum]

It wouldn’t sound the same if there were a liaison. There would be a /z/ sound if it were a liaison but an /s/ sound for sont

[rose mantle]

We had this discussion with you several times before, it's a technically optional liaison but so rare that it's generally considered forbidden and will likely sound off to natives, simply because it's fallen out of usage

[summer aspen]

you basically never do the liaison after nouns.
The only exception is with plural nouns followed up by an adjective where the liaison using the plural mark (usually -s) is optional.
