How about you give it a try first?

[meager olive]

the first 2 blanks are leur

Not sure what the last black is for?

blank*

[tall lily]

Is that the full sentence?

[meager olive]

Yeah

[tall lily]

because what follows a possessive has to be a noun

and I don't see any

unless you mistyped it, either by omitting the final noun or putting the blank after « fête » instead of before it

[meager olive]

yeah me neither, i think i might have copied it wrong, when my teacher was writing the questions on the board

okay another one

-- classe est vide

i can use any here right

Like leur class or notre class or son class

Im not sure what gender "Classe" is, so i just put Notre

[tall lily]

classe is feminine

so you can't put « son »

both leur/notre work

[foggy horizon]

Not what's being asked, but jupe and chemise should probably have an s, unless you're talking about multiple people fitting into the same shirt and skirt

[meager olive]

ah yes sa i meant

[meager olive]

what do you mean

jupes and chemises?

okay wait yeah i see that

Elles is plural

Maybe i accidentaly added an 's' at the end or missed 2 's''s

[foggy horizon]

if so, you would need to use leurs instead of leur

[meager olive]

yeah, i cut the "s" at the end of elle instead

alright thanks, my main doubt was the misplaced blank after the end of the sentence, it was just a mistake

[tall lily]

Not necessarily

Dans certains contextes, qu’on emploie leur ou leurs, une
ambiguïté persiste. Le singulier indique que ce qui est possédé est unique pour chacun ou est possédé en commun. Le pluriel indique soit que chacun possède plusieurs choses, soit que chacun possède une chose, ce qui fait plusieurs choses au total.

Ils ont payé leur facture. (Ils avaient une seule facture pour tous ou une facture chacun.)
Ils ont payé leurs factures. (Chacun avait plusieurs factures ou chacun avait la sienne.)

So it could be that everyone of them had one skirt and one shirt

[worn drift]

French prefers singular when every person in a group only has 1 instance of the thing

[meager olive]

in that case what would "leurs" mean, each one of them had multiple skirts and multiple shirts?

[worn drift]

Not necessarily each one of them but it means they don't necessarily all have only one of each

[tall lily]

Yes exactly

[meager olive]

oooo

[foggy horizon]

wow so jupe and chemise wouldn't be plural in that case...? my bad

[worn drift]

Yea
