Possessive Adjectives Objectives: To explain what possessive adjectives are and to practise their use.

Possessive Adjectives The words for my, your, his/her, in French are slightly more complicated than in English because of the genders. We have 3 words for each so for example MY can be: MON MA MES Can you find out why?

Possessive Adjectives MON: in front of masculine nouns MA: in front of feminine nouns MES: in front of plural nouns. Ex La table ma table Le livremon livre Les cassettesmes cassettes

Possessive Adjectives But you have to say: your and his or her as well : here is how it goes: Masculine nounsFeminine nounsPlural nouns MYmonmames YOURtontates HIS/HERsonsases

Possessive Adjectives As you can see from the table there is only one word for his/her: son in the masculine, sa in the feminine and ses in the plural Ex: Sa table can mean his or her table (table is feminine) Son copain can mean his or her friend (copain is masculine) Ses amis can mean his or her friends (amis is plural) So there is no way of knowing who these things/people belong to. In French the important bit is to know whether the object is masculine or feminine.
