I wish I had seen this comment earlier. It just couldn't understand what was going on with those articles. Eventually I found the rule you mentioned in another site (oneworlditaliano btw, it has helped me with grammar). It also said that when the possessive is 'loro' you always put the article -even in singular. So it is: il loro figlio - their son, i loro fratelli - their brothers. I think Duolingo should put a note clearing that out. It would save a lot of time.

I put 'ed a novembre' (with the accent above the 'e') because of the two vowel sounds. Understood that this could be used at your own discretion, but it wasn't accepted by Duo. Any thoughts please?

Grainemhaol, ed would not be correct here because it means "and." The e in this sentence is actually è which means "is." This doesn't ever have a "d" added to it.

why couldn't you say "La mia compleanno è in novembre" ? Why do we always have to assume the masculine form?
