    Adjectifs possessifs

    Possessive adjectives are used to indicate to whom or to what something belongs. Their usage is similar to English, but there are some differences in form. English my your (sing., fam.) his, her, its our your (plur., form) their Masculine mon ton son notre votre leur Feminine ma ta sa notre votre leur Before vowel /silent h mon ton son Plural mes tes ses nos vos leurs

    The French language has many more possessives than English. An important difference is that the gender, number, and first letter of the noun possessed determine which form to use. Example: Sophie aime beaucoup son nouvel ordinateur (ordinateur is a masculine object, therefore we put son; Sophie, being a girl, doesnt determine whether we put son or sa; only the computer does)

    Note! - When a feminine noun begins with a vowel, the masculine possessive is used in order to keep from saying something like ma amie, where the flow of the sentence would be broken. -When describing two or more nouns, a possessive adjective must be used in front of each one. Ex: his brother and sister = son frre et sa sur Exercice 1 Translate the English adjectives into French : 1. Je ne sais pas o jai mis my . cls. 2.
