Possessive Adjectives

Possessive adjectives are simply adjectives that describe possession. They're still adjectives because they modify a noun. Here is how the parts work in a sentence

​

​

​ my dog

​ possessive adjective noun it modifies

​

​

​The Possessive Adjectives

The adjective you use must modify the noun correctly.

​

​Ex. My dog

​

​ Mon chien

​

​Chien is MASCULINE so you use "mon"

​The Possessive Adjectives

Now "dogs" is plural

​

My dogs

​

​ Mes chiens

​

​Chien is MASCULINE and PLURAL so you use "mes"

The adjective you use doesn't depend on the gender of the object's OWNER, it depends on the gender of the OBJECT.

​

​So, the phrase "Sa soeur" could mean "his" OR "her sister"

​

​The only way to know is through context

​

​Sa, son, and ses can also mean "its"
