In French, there are 3 different words for MY - mon, ma and mes.
You will know which one to use depending on the gender of the person or thing that you are talking about:e.g. Mon frère my brother
Ma soeur my sister Mes parents my parents
Mon is used when the noun is masculine.Ma is used when the noun is feminine.Mes is used when the noun is plural.
e.g. Mon livre my book Ma trousse my pencilcase Mes affaires my things
Now try these examples. Fill in the blanks with the correct word for MY (mon/ma/mes)
1. .......... père.2. .......... mère. 3. .......... cousins.4. .......... tante.5. .......... oncle.6. .......... grands-parents.7. .......... nièce.8. .......... mari.
mon ma mes ma mon mes ma mon
Now check your
answers.
Did you get 8 out of 8?
So far it’s easy peasy, isn’t it?
The hardest part is knowing the gender of each noun, but remember, the plurals are easy to spot, just look for nouns ending in –s!
Just to clarify…The possessive adjective always agrees with the NOUN, not the person that it
belongs to.In other words, a man would say mon livre, and a woman would also say mon livre because the book is masculine (le livre).
Likewise, both men and women would say ma trousse, because pencilcase is feminine in French - it doesn't matter whether the owner of the pencilcase is male or female.
