Theory
we use possessive adjectives to show ownership, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun :
 | singular | plural | |
 | ♂️ | ♀️ | |
my | mon | ma / mon* | mes |
your | ton | ta / ton* | tes |
his | son | sa / son* | ses |
our | notre | nos | |
your | votre | vos | |
their | leur | leurs |
rule #1
the feminine singular changes its form when followed by nouns that start with a vowel and an aspirated H
For example :
c’est sa idole ➔ c’est son idole (F)
rule #2
the possessive adjectives is replaced by the definite article when combined with reflexive verbs
For example :
elle se lave ses cheveux le matin âž”
elle se lave les cheveux le matin
