whose it is | masc singular, or starts with vowel | feminine singular | plural |
my | mon | ma | mes |
your | ton | ta | tes |
his | son | sa | ses |
her | son | sa | ses |
our | notre | notre | nos |
your | votre | votre | vos |
their | leur | leur | leurs |
The version of the possessive pronoun that you use (my – their) depends on the number and the gender of the possessed item.
For example;
My house – house is feminine – so one uses the feminine singular form of ‘my’ – ma maison
Our dad – dad is masculine – so one uses the masculine singular form of ‘our’ – notre père
Her truck – truck is masculine – so one uses the masculine singular form of ‘her’ – son camion
Your books – books are plural – so one uses the plural version of ‘your’ – tes livres
