    Possessive adjectives in French are used before nouns to indicate ownership. There are different forms depending on the owner (I, you, he/she, we, you, they), whether the item is singular or plural, and the gender and number of the owned item. For singular items belonging to I, you, or he/she, the forms are mon/ma/mes, ton/ta/tes, son/sa/ses. For plural or items belonging to we, you, they the forms are mes/tes/ses, notre/nos, votre/vos, leur/leurs.

    Possessive Adjectives / Adjectifs possessifs

    How to say MY YOUR HIS / HER OUR YOUR THEIR in French?

    mon, ma, mes ton, ta, tes son, sa, ses notre, nos votre, vos leur, leurs

    A possessive adjective defines ownership of « something» and is placed before it in the sentence as a “determinant”.
    There are four different cases we can think about: Follow the arrows
    one "thing" The owner is  I YOU HE/SHE
    belongs to one (1st pers.sing) (2d pers. Sing) (3d pers sing) example :
    person.  The "thing" is MY YOUR HIS/HER
       ****
    c'est mon livre
    Masculin sing. MON TON SON c'est ton livre
    c'est son livre
    c'est ma robe
    Singular Feminin sing.  MA TA SA c'est ta robe
    c'est sa robe
    Feminin but the c'est mon amie
    word starts MON TON SON c'est ton amie
    with a vowel  c'est son amie
    *** In this case it is the gender of the belonging that determines the choice of adjective, not the gender of the owner like it
    would in English. Ex: Whether a book belongs to a boy or a girl, HIS book or HER book will be translated by “SON” livre in both
    cases because livre is masculine.
    many "things" The owner is  I YOU HE/SHE
    belong to one The "things" are (1st pers.sing.) (2d pers. sing.) (3d pers sing.) examples :
    person.  MY YOUR HIS/HER
       ****
    Ce sont mes livres.
    Masc. Ce sont tes livres.
    Ce sont ses livres.
    Plural or  MES TES SES
    Ce sont mes robes.
    Fem. Ce sont tes robes.
    Ce sont ses robes.
    one "thing" owners are  WE YOU THEY
    belongs to many (1st pers.plur.) (2d pers.plur.) (3 pers. Plur.) example :
    people.  The "thing" is OUR YOUR THEIR

    many "things" owners are  WE YOU THEY
    belong to many The "things" are (1st pers.plur.) (2d pers.plur.) (3 pers. Plur.) examples :
