  2. Les Adjectifs Possessifs • In English, we only have one way to say possessive adjectives: • My, your, his/her, our(s), ya’ll’s, their(s) • In French, because all objects are either masculine or feminine and all adjectives must agree…there are different forms! • It doesn’t matter the gender/number of the owner…what matters is the gender/number of the object owned! Example: Paul’s mom: sa mère • (It doesn’t matter that Paul is a boy…it matters that his mom is a female!)

  3. In French, the possessive adjectives MUST agree with the gender/number of the object that is owned… NOT the owner!
