Possessive Adjectives
Possessive adjectives like other adjectives, agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.
- mes livres my books
- tes amis your friends
- ma voiture my car
- mon passeport my passport
- leurs enfants their children
The forms mon, ton, and son are used instead of ma, ta and sa before a feminine singular noun beginning with a vowel or silent h.
- mon histoire my story
- ton école your school
- son amie his (her) friend
The nouns monsieur, madame, and mademoiselle, originally composed of a possessive adjective and a noun, form their plural by changing each part to the plural.
- messieurs, mesdames, mesdemoiselles
