Did you get 8 out of 8? So far it’s easy peasy, isn’t it? The hardest part is knowing the gender of each noun, but remember, the plurals are easy to spot, just look for nouns ending in –s!
Just to clarify…The possessive adjective always agrees with the NOUN, not the person that it belongs to. In other words, a man would say monlivre, and a woman would also say monlivre because the book is masculine (lelivre). Likewise, both men and women would say matrousse, because pencilcase is feminine in French - it doesn't matter whether the owner of the pencilcase is male or female.
