The possessive adjectives are used to express possession. They always precede the noun or the noun phrase and they have the following form.
Remember:
When the object possessed begins with a vowel or a mute “h”, we use “mon”, “ton”, “son” instead of “ma”, “ta”, “sa” even if it is feminine.
For example:
| The Person who possesses or the possessor | The object possessed | |||||
| Singular | Plural | |||||
| Person | Masculine | Feminine | Masculine | Feminine | ||
| 1st person singular | mon | ma | mes | mes | ||
| 2nd person singular | ton | ta | tes | tes | ||
| 3rd person singular | son | sa | ses | ses | ||
| 1st person plural | notre | notre | nos | nos | ||
| 2nd person plural | votre | votre | vos | vos | ||
| 3rd person plural | leur | leur | leurs | leurs | ||
