Possessive words indicate ownership or belonging. French has two categories: possessive adjectives (which go before a noun) and possessive pronouns (which replace a noun). Both agree with the thing possessed, not with the possessor — this is a key difference from English.
Possessive adjectives come before the noun and agree in gender and number with the noun they modify (not the owner):
| Owner | Masculine Singular | Feminine Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| je | mon | ma | mes |
| tu | ton | ta | tes |
| il / elle / on | son | sa | ses |
| nous | notre | notre | nos |
| vous | votre | votre | vos |
| ils / elles | leur | leur | leurs |
