Question 16

• Possessive adjectives … Rules:*
  1. placement
  2. gender/number agreement
  3. those that agree in number only
  4. mon, ton, son …

Answer 16

• Possessive adjectives … * Rules:
  1. Possessive adjectives always placed before the nouns they modify.
  2. Poss. adjs. agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.
  3. notre, votre and leur: agree in number only.

4. mon, ton and son: masculine forms are used with feminine singular nouns that begin with a vowel (sound).
   
   • mon amie ton etudiante son histoire*
5. Choice of son, sa and ses depends on gender & number of the noun possessed, not the gender/number of the owner.
   son frere = his/her brother
   sa soeur = his/her sister
   ses parents = his/her parents

Question 17

Possessive adjectives … de:

… to express ‘s to express relationships or ownership …

Answer 17

Possessive adjectives …

Use de (d’) + [the noun or proper name] instead.

When the preposition de is followed by
the definite articles le and les,
they contract to form du and des, respectively.

(There is no contraction when de followed by la or l’.)

de + le –> du de + les –> des
