Possessive Adjectives in French

Possessive adjectives show who owns something. They also need to match the gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) of the noun they describe. Here are the main possessive adjectives:

• Mon (my - for masculine singular nouns)
• Ma (my - for feminine singular nouns)
• Mes (my - for plural nouns)
• Ton (your - for masculine singular nouns)
• Ta (your - for feminine singular nouns)
• Tes (your - for plural nouns)
• Son (his/her - for masculine singular nouns)
• Sa (his/her - for feminine singular nouns)
• Ses (his/her - for plural nouns)
