Mon / Ma / Mes
In Levels 1 and 2 we learnt that the French words for 'a' and 'the' were different depending on the gender of the word (masculine or feminine). A similar thing happens with the French word for 'my'. There are three ways to say 'my' in French. If what you are talking about is masculine, it is mon. If it is feminine, the word is ma unless the next word begins with a vowel, in which case it is mon. If it is plural, the word is mes.
