| | =====Construction===== |
| | |
| | Possessive adjectives are in front of the noun, just like articles. |
| | |
| | * la voiture, une voiture, ma voiture |
| | * the car, a car, my car |
| | |
| | |
| | Possessive adjectives agree with the noun that follows: |
| | |
| | * <color deeppink>la</color> voiture => ma voiture (voiture est féminin) |
| | * //<color deeppink>the</color> car => my car (car = voiture is feminine, so the possessive adjective is MA)// |
| | |
| | * <color blue>le</color> bureau => mon bureau (bureau est masculin) |
| | * //<color blue>the</color> office => my office (office = bureau => masculine, so the possessive adjective is MON )// |
| | |
| | * **les** collègues => mes collègues (collègues est pluriel) |
| | * //**the** colleagues => my colleagues (colleagues = collègues = plural so the possessive adjective is MES)// |
| | |

| | =====Note===== |
| | |
| | In French nouns have genders, so the possessive adjectives agree with the thing/noun, not the owner. |
| | |
| | \\ |
| | <color deeppink>une</color> voiture (féminin) |
| | |
| | <color deeppink>une voiture</color> (a car) is a feminine noun, so the possessive adjective is <color deeppink>SA.</color> |
| | * Il a <color deeppink>une</color> voiture => C'est <color deeppink>sa</color> voiture |
| | * //He has a car => It’s his car//. |
| | * Elle a <color deeppink>une</color> voiture => C'est <color deeppink>sa</color> voiture |
| | * //She has a car => It’s her car.// |
| | |
| | \\ |
| | <color blue>un</color> vélo (masculin) |
| | |
| | <color blue>un vélo</color> (a bike) is a masculine noun, so the possessive adjective is <color blue>SON</color>. |
| | * Il a <color blue>un</color> vélo => C'est <color blue>son</color> vélo |
| | * //He has a bike => It’s his bike.// |
| | * Elle a <color blue>un</color> vélo => C'est <color blue>son</color> vélo |
| | * //She has a bike => It’s her bike.// |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | =====Note ===== |
| | In front of feminine nouns starting with a vowel or a voiceless h, "ma, ta, sa" are replaced by "mon, ton, son" |
| | |
| | * une idée => mon idée, ton idée, son idée |
| | * //an idea => my idea, your idea, his/her idea// |
| | |
| | * une adresse => mon adresse, ton adresse, son adresse |
| | * //an address => my address, your address, his/her address// |
| | |
| | * une histoire => mon histoire, ton histoire, son histoire |
| | * //a story => my story, your story, his/her story// |
