Questions & Answers about Les filles n'ont pas pratiqué l'acrobatie et la vrille.

Why doesn't pratiqué have an -es at the end to agree with Les filles?
Even though Les filles is feminine plural, the helping verb here is avoir (ont). With avoir, the past participle (pratiqué) only changes to agree with a direct object if that object comes before the verb. Since the direct objects (l'acrobatie et la vrille) come after the verb, there is no agreement.
Do we have to use the article la before vrille, or could we just say l'acrobatie et vrille?
You must include the article. In French, unlike English, you generally cannot drop the article for the second noun in a list. It must be l'acrobatie et la vrille.
What exactly is une vrille in this context?
In sports like gymnastics, diving, or figure skating, une vrille refers to a twist or spin where the athlete rotates around their body's vertical axis. In other contexts, it can also mean an aviation spin or a tool like a hand drill.
Why is acrobatie singular here? Doesn't it usually translate to plural acrobatics?
In French, when referring to the sport or discipline as a whole, it is used in the singular (l'acrobatie). If you were referring to specific stunts, tricks, or moves, you would use the plural (les acrobaties).
