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.
