Lesson Details
Key learning points
- French has different words for possessive adjectives because all nouns have grammatical gender.
- To say my/your, use mon/ton for masculine singular nouns, ma/ta for feminine singular nouns and mes/tes for plural.
- Pronounce the final letters of mon and mes when the next word starts with a vowel; we call this liaison.
Common misconception
Like in English, there is just one word for 'my' in French.
French has 3 words for 'my' and the gender of the possession determines which 'my' to use; mon for singular masculine nouns, ma for feminine singular nouns and mes for plural nouns.
