Level 32 - Possession

In Level 9 we learnt that mon, ma and mes all mean 'my' depending on whether the thing you are describing is masculine, feminine or plural. Here are the other ways of indicating possession. Take care to note that the agreement is with the thing owned, not the person owning it. Here is the complete table for showing possession, followed by some examples.
