Q. Mettez l’adjectif possessif :-

Question 1. J’aime ______ maison.
Answer: J’aime ma maison.
In simple words: "Maison" is a feminine singular noun and the subject is "Je", so the possessive adjective is "ma".

Exam Tip: Always check the gender and number of the noun that follows the blank, not the subject.

Question 2. J’invite _______ amie.
Answer: J’invite mon amie.
In simple words: Although "amie" is feminine singular, it begins with a vowel sound, so we use the masculine form "mon" for easier pronunciation.

Exam Tip: Feminine nouns starting with a vowel or silent h take mon, ton, son instead of ma, ta, sa.

Question 3. Nous allons à ______ école.
Answer: Nous allons à notre école.
In simple words: "École" is a singular noun (starting with a vowel, but preceded by the consonant-ending "notre") and the subject is "Nous", so we use "notre".

Exam Tip: "Notre" and "votre" do not change for vowels; they only change for plural nouns (nos, vos).

Question 4. Vous mangez ______ bonbons.
Answer: Vous mangez vos bonbons.
In simple words: "Bonbons" is a plural noun and the subject is "Vous", so the plural possessive adjective is "vos".

Question 5. Paul et Peter appellent _______ amis.
Answer: Paul et Peter appellent leurs amis.
In simple words: The subject "Paul et Peter" is third-person plural (Ils) and "amis" is plural, so we use "leurs".

Question 6. Elles font ______ devoir.
Answer: Elles font leur devoir.
In simple words: "Devoir" is masculine singular and the subject is "Elles", so we use "leur".
