Les Adjectifs possessifs

Possessive adjectives (sometimes called possessive articles) are used to show ownership or possession. They are adjectives because they agree in gender and number with the noun they introduce.

MY MonMaMes To express “my” use mon, ma or mes. Look at the examples: Le chat (the cat)mon chat (my cat) La voiture (the car)ma voiture (my car) Les chats (the cats)mes chats (my cats) Les voitures (the cars)mes voitures (my cars) Mon is for masculine nouns. Ma is for feminine nouns. Mes is for plural nouns – masculine and/or feminine Try these: my dog _________________ My house ________________ My sisters _______________ My parents ________________ My brother ___________

Your Tontates To express your, use ton, ta, tes.

Ta is for feminine nouns Tes is for plural nouns. Try these: your cat _________________ your car _________________ your friends________________

His and her His and her can sometimes be confusing. This possessive relies on WHAT is being owned, not WHO owns it. Son jardin – his yard or her yard. (It does not matter whether the yard belongs to a man or woman. We use SON because the word “jardin” is masculine.) Le jardin (the yard)son jardin (his/her yard) La soeur (the sister)sa soeur (his/her sister) Les cousins (the cousins)ses cousins (his/her cousins) Son is for masculine nouns Sa is for feminine nouns Ses is for plural nouns Try these: her binder ______________ his aunt ________________ her parents _____________
