LES ADJECTIF
POSSESIF
By:Radhika Manchanda
Possessive adjectives indicate
ownership or possession. The English
possessive adjectives are my, your, his,
her, its, our, and their.
French has many more possessive adjectives
because they have to agree in number and
sometimes gender with their nouns.
Make sure that the possessive adjective always agrees
in number and gender with the noun that is given.
•Par exemple
•mon frère (my brother)
•ma soeur (my sister)
•mes fréres (my brothers)
•The possessive adjective must be repeated before each
noun.
Mon fils, ma fille et mes petits-enfants. – My son,
daughter, and grandchildren
1.They are not used together with an article but in its place.
2.French possessive adjectives are directly placed in front of
the noun or adjective.
3.They have to correspond with the gender and number of the
possessed noun.
4.A possessive pronoun can be used to replace it when it is
used together with a noun in a sentence.
5.They’re not affected by the speaker’s gender.
