20. French Possessive Adjectives
| Masc. | Fem. | Plural | |
| My | mon (mohn) | ma (mah) | mes (may) |
| Your | ton | ta | tes |
| His/Her/Its | son | sa | ses |
| Our | notre (noh-truh) | notre | nos (noh) |
| Your | votre | votre | vos |
| Their | leur (luhr) | leur | leurs (luhr) |
Note: Possessive pronouns go before the noun. When a feminine noun begins with a vowel, you must use the masculine form of the pronoun for ease of pronunciation. Ma amie is incorrect and must be mon amie, even though amie is feminine.

Ce sont vos petits-enfants? These are your grandchildren?
