Possesive Adjectives | Les adjectifs possessifs
Like all French adjectives, possessive adjectives agree in gender (masculine [m.], feminine [f.]) and in number (singular [s.], plural [pl.]) with the nouns they modify (the person or item that is possessed) and not with the subject (the person possessing them).
