Lesson#1
To say something belongs to you in French, like 'my book', you use possessive adjectives. Unlike in English, the French word for 'my' can change depending on the gender and number of the thing you're talking about.
Lesson#2
Let's start with 'my'. Use 'mon' before a masculine noun, like 'mon livre' for 'my book'. Use 'ma' before a feminine noun, like 'ma table' for 'my table'. For any plural noun, masculine or feminine, you use 'mes', as in 'mes livres' for 'my books'.
Quiz#3
How do you say 'my book' in French, given that 'livre' is a masculine word?

mon livre

Quiz#4
How do you say 'my table' in French, given that 'table' is a feminine word?

ma table

Quiz#5
How do you say 'my books' in French?

mes livres

Lesson#6
Now for 'our'. This is simpler because there's no gender distinction. Use 'notre' for a single item, like 'notre livre' for 'our book'. Use 'nos' for multiple items, like 'nos livres' for 'our books'.
