TRANSCRIPT
une ÉCOLE
MA? NON – MON! How come? Why use the
masculine mon if it’s a feminine word?
As école begins with a vowel, you can’t use ma as the 2 vowels would clash! Instead we use the masculine MON
So, there’s no separate words for his & her then?
That’s right! It’s the gender or plural of the word
you’re referring to that counts and not the person you’re talking about!
so SON chien can mean either HIS dog or HER dog!
SA mère means either his mom or her mom
But all this is for another day!CIAO!
