Answer:
1 – What Is A Possessive Adjective ?
A possessive adjective is a word that says to whom something belongs.
This is her dog.
2 – Possessive Adjectives In English
In English, there are seven possessive adjectives.
my dog(s)
your dog(s)
his dog(s)
her dog(s)
its dog(s)
our dog(s)
their dog(s)
In English, wether the dog is a female dog or a male dog, or even if there are several dogs doesn’t matter at all.
What matter is the subject. The person to whom the dog belong : the owner of the dog(s).
Simple enough.
2 – For French Possessive Adjectives, Focus On The Dog!
In French, it’s similar and different at the same time.
You still have to choose who the owner is: my, you, his etc…
But then what matter is whether the dog is a male dog (masculine) or a female dog (feminine), and whether there’s one dog (singular) or several dogs (plural)
For example, when you talk about a woman’s male dog:
In English you’s say HER dog.
What matters is that a ‘she’ is the owner.
In French you’d say SON chien.
What matters is that a ‘she’ is the owner, AND THEN that the dog is one male dog.
I understand this is very weird for an English speaker.
You need to change your focus.
In French, you need to focus on the dog!
Try to visualize this cute male dog and link this image to:
C’est le chien de Mary. C’est SON chien.
