The way we spell "your" is changed according not only to the thing owed (masculine or feminine), but also indicates if there are a number of things or a number of owners. That makes not three ways, but five. Of course this is rather complicated to master when you learn French. In English you take into account the gender of the owner, that doesn't matter in French (phew!)

ex: - ta voiture (your car: feminine thing, single owner, informal)

- ton cartable (your schoolbag: masculine noun, single owner, informal)

- tes livres (your books: several things at once, single owner, informal)

- votre maison (your house: a single thing, several "owners" - or a single one when speaking formally)

- vos vélos (your bicycles: a number of things, several "owners" - or a single one when speaking formally)
