1.1.4.3 Possessive Adjectives
The following are the possessive adjectives:
1) mon, ma, mes my
2) ton, ta, tes your
3) son, sa, ses his/her
4) notre, nos our
6) votre, vos your
6) leur, leur their
Possessive adjectives must agree in number and gender with both:
a) the possessed thing, and
b) the possessor of the thing.
for example:
les livres de Marie: ses livres
Marie's books: her books
la maison de Paul et Marie: leur maison
Paul and Marie's house: their house
la cravate de Paul: sa cravate
Paul's tie: his tie
