Possessive Adjectives

16/3/2019

In English, possessive adjectives function differently than they do in French. In French, the adjective has to agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example, the word “maison” is feminine so the possessive adjective is going to use the feminine version of the adjective. First, we take the version of “my” and translate it: “mon” (m.), “ma” (f.), or “mes” (m.&f.pl.). Now you have to choose which one to modify the noun with since the noun is feminine. The correct choice is “ma maison.” Here is a list of the possessive adjectives.

My:

Mon (m.)

Ma (f.)

Mes (m.&f.pl.)

Your (informal):

Ton (m.)

Ta (f.)

Tes (m.&f.pl.)

His/Her:

Son (m.)

Sa (f.)

Ses (m.&f.pl.)

Our:

Notre (m.&f.)

Nos (m.&f.pl.)

Your (formal):

Votre (m.&f.)

Vos (m.&f.pl.)

Their:

Leur (m.&f.)

Leurs (m.&f.pl.)

In my opinion, the trickiest one to remember is “leur/leurs” because you have to make sure the possessive adjective agrees with the noun it modifies and not the people involved. 

Example: Ils ont leur propre maison. > They have their own house. 

Example: Ils ont leurs propres maisons. > They have their own houses. 

Bien à vous !

bon matin! c’est tôt pour moi, hmm? today I’ll be sharing some online resources for learning french ranging from vocab lists to full on courses! i hope you find these useful - the internet really is precious when learning languages! <3

⁎⁺˳✧༚ frenchtoday.com

this website threatens to put me out of business and I couldn’t be more delighted! vocab lists galore, free lessons, tips to work on your pronunciation, articles on french culture and even stories and poetry. i haven’t looked at everything available on there, but from what I’ve seen, it’s pretty useful!

⁎⁺˳✧༚ frenchpod101.com

this is a free course you can take, with options for absolute beginners and those already a little familiar with the language. it looks to be good for conversational french and is an easy, no nonsense starting point for beginners, who i know from experience are often easily overwhelmed.

⁎⁺˳✧༚ coffee break french

this is one I’m not quite as familiar with but has come to me highly recommended. it’s a podcast that covers the basics as well as providing dialogues and example role plays. give it a try and let me know how you find it!

⁎⁺˳✧༚ innerfrench (chaîne de YouTube)

this is a really interesting channel! you get to learn french through a variety of different topical discussions and he speaks slowly enough for you to get most of what he’s saying even if you’re a relative beginner, which can make you feel super smart :)

bien, c’est tout! i hope these recs are alright, and I hope we meet again soon~ a bientôt!
