    Study Notes

    French Possessive Pronouns

    • French possessive pronouns indicate ownership. They modify nouns to show who possesses something.

    • The table displays the possessive pronouns in the various French personal pronouns:

      • moi (I) - mon, ma, mes (my)
      • toi (you) - ton, ta, tes (your, singular informal)
      • lui, elle (him, her) - son, sa, ses (his, her, its)
      • nous (we) - notre, nos (our)
      • vous (you, formal or plural) - votre, vos (your, formal or plural)
      • eux/elles (they) - leur, leurs (their)

    • The forms of the possessive pronouns (mon, ma, mes, etc.) change according to the gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) of the noun they modify.

    • mon (masculine singular), ma (feminine singular), mes (masculine/feminine plural).

    • The correspondence between subject pronouns and possessive pronouns must be maintained. You cannot use a possessive pronoun associated with one subject pronoun to refer to another.

    • Example: Mon livre (my book) - Mon modifies the masculine singular noun livre.

    • Example: Ses chats (his/her/its cats) - Ses (plural) modifies the plural noun chats.

    • Note the difference between the singular and plural forms.

    • The translation may differ according to context.

    • These are critical for expressing ownership and relationships in French sentences.
