French - adjectif possessif
Bonjour! Today I would like to share possessive adjectives with you, and add in a bit of an explanation to it. Note that I´m a beginner, I simply made this post for my own revision and understandably explained it.
On y va!
As you probably already know, there are two genders in French - masculine et feminine.
Mon, Ma, Mes - they all mean my
ton, ta, tes - all mean your
son, sa, ses - her/his (i´ll explain this further below)
notre, notre, nos -our
votre, votre, vos - your
leur, leur, leurs - their
So now, we know what they are. But it is a bit confusing, isn´t it?
In French, we choose which possessive adjective we will use according to the object. For example:
This is her dog. (in english we say her dog, because the subject is female(a girl owns that dog, that´s why))
However, in French we would say:
C´est son chien (chien is masculine, so we use son, not sa.)
More sample sentences:
These are his books.
Ce sont ses livres. (livres - books, which is in plural, so we use ses.)
--
My table.
Ma table (la table est feminin)
--
My book.
Mon livre. (le livre - masculine)
--
This is her brother.
C´est son frére. (frére - masculine.)
--
This is our cat.
C´est leur chat.
--
His sister is pretty.
Sa soeur est jolie.
--
These are our pens.
Ce sont nos stylos.
Exception when mon, ton, son is used for f.
When the object starts with a vowel, (or a mute h) we use an alternative which ends with a consonant.
This is her friend.
C´est son amie. (amie-f so logically we would use sa, but amie starts with a vowel.) (ami- m, son still stays)
--
My school.
Mon école. (école-f, but starting with a vowel so we use mon instead of ma.)
--
Your clock.
Ton horloge. (horloge-f, but starting with silent h, (we don´t pronounce the h)
Feel free to correct me if there are any mistakes.
Second French Friday! This week I have a list of animals in French. Of course, there’s a lot more so stay tuned for next week’s list! I also made a Quizlet set for this list which you can find here.
Just curious, what do you think about this style? I think I’ve seen this around Tumblr before, but I’m not sure where. If you have any idea, please comment/dm so I can give credit! Don’t hesitate to point out any mistakes I may have :)
anyone wanna learn French with me?
So basically, I’ve been struggling to learn French for a while. I think I don’t put enough effort in, and when I do put in the work, I’m focusing on the wrong areas to increase my knowledge and comprehension (e.g. my listening skills are absolutely abysmal, but I can read some basic writing). So really, what I’m looking for is someone going through the same thing - I have a few friends learning languages, and even a few who fluently speak foreign languages, but none of those languages are French. And as much as I enjoy other languages, I enjoy French a lot and really don’t want to give up on my French-learning journey.
If there’s anyone out there who is interested in learning French with me, please let me know!
