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
