Possessive adjectives are always placed _____ the noun they modify.
BEFORE
example
C’est TON père?
(is that your father)
Non, c’est MON oncle.
(No, that’s my uncle)
The masculine singular forms ___, ___, and ___ are used with a vowel sound EVEN IF THEY ARE FEMININE.
MON
TON
SON
example
MON amie
(my friend)
TON école
(your school)
SON histoire
(his story)
In English you use “ ‘s “ to express relationships or ownership. In French, use __ (__’) + the noun or proper name instead.
DE or (D’)
example
C’est le petit ami D’ELISABETH
that’s Elisabeth’s boyfriend
When DE is followed by LE and LES, they contract to form DU and DES respectively.
There is no contradiction when DE is followed by LA and L’
example
DE + LE —-> DU
Le nom DE L’oiseau, c’est Lulu.
(the bird’s name is Lulu)
DE + LES —-> DES
La fille DES voisins a les cheveux châtains
(the neighbors’ daughter has brown hair)
