The following are the three different forms (masculine, feminine, plural) of every possessive noun:
my: mon, ma, mes
your (informal): ton, ta, tes
his/her/its: son, sa, ses
our: notre, notre, nos
your (formal): votre, votre, vos
their: leur, leur, leurs
For examples:
C'est ma gomme. (gomme is a feminine noun, so you use the feminine form of "my.")
Regard son crayon. (crayon is masculine, so you use son.)
Ce sont leurs poissons. (poissons is plural, so use the plural possessive form.)
Anything beginning with a vowel is preceeded by the masculine form of the possessive noun. Examples:
Allons sortir avec mon amie! (amie begins with a vowel, so use mon.)
Est-ce que tu aimes ton oncle? (oncle begins with an o, so you use ton.)
To write something as that of something/someone else, use de. For examples:
C'est le fille de Thomas. (the daughter of Thomas)
J'aime le canari de Loïc. (the yellow bird of Loïc)
Always use liaison with mon, ton, and son and with all plural forms.
For examples:
mon école (pronounce mo-nay-cohl)
nos amis (pronounce no-za-mee)
In French, possessive nouns typically precede the noun they modify and agree in gender and number. Examples include "mon" (my), "ton" (your), "son" (his/her/its), "notre" (our), and "leur" (their).
Possessive nouns and possessive pronouns always function as adjectives, as they modify nouns to show ownership or possession.
Possessive nouns show ownership or possession of something by another noun. They do not directly indicate a relationship between nouns and adjectives. Adjectives describe or modify nouns, while possessive nouns indicate ownership of the noun being modified.
Possessive nouns and possessive pronouns both show ownership or possession of something. Possessive nouns show that something belongs to a noun, whereas possessive pronouns replace a noun to show possession. They both indicate who or what owns or has something.
No, "mes" is singular. In French, "mes" is used to indicate possession for singular nouns. For plural possessive, you would use "mes" for plural nouns.
Possessive nouns can function as both adjectives and pronouns. As adjectives, they modify nouns by showing ownership or possession (e.g., "John's car"). As pronouns, they stand in for nouns to show possession (e.g., "This book is mine").
