Possessive adjs My= mon, ma, mes(all mean my, but mon for masculine nouns, ma for feminine, and mes for plural) your= ton, ta, tes(for tu version, more informal) Or votre, votre, vos(for more formal vous version, with someone older or groups) His, hers, its= son, sa, ses Theirs= leur, leur, leurs
Agreement • Remember, the possessive agrees with the noun, the thing being owned, not the person owning it • So, if we were talking about a guy, we would say “Kevin écoutesamère” with a feminine sa, because it’s referring to his mom, not Kevin • If we were talking about his dad, we would say “Kevin écoutesonpère” with masculine son, but it has nothing to do with whether Kevin is a girl or guy, it’s because his dad is a guy
