Function: • Possessive adjectives are words used in place of articles (un, une, le, les etc.) • They indicate to whom something belongs (e.g my mother, your father, his sister, our brother etc.)
The Vowel Rule • When a feminine noun begins with a vowel (e.g. amie) the masculine possessive is used in order to avoid two vowels placed together (eg. ma amie)= (mon amie)
