Cultural Tip
In French, 'adorer' is often used informally to mean 'to love' something, especially in the context of music, movies, or food. However, in more formal writing you might prefer 'aimer beaucoup'. Also, remember that 'leur' stays singular even if the owners are plural; the plural form 'leurs' would be used only if the noun it modifies were plural (e.g., 'leurs chansons').
