Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. These are the possessive adjectives, which agree in number and gender with the NOUN modified, depending upon the subject: mon, ma, mes, ton, ta, tes, son, sa, ses, notre, nos, votre, vos, leur, leurs.
1. le château du roi = son cháteau
2. l'appartement d'Annick = son appartement (check your spelling of appartement, masc. sing.)
3. Son cousin est la fille de son oncle = Son cousin est sa fille = right!
NOTE: Don't forget when the noun is feminine singular but begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or unaspirated "h" the masculine singular noun is used. Example = my water/my waters = mon eau BUT mes eaux.
1. le château du roi
Son château.
To rewrite this sentence using possessive adjectives, we replace "du roi" (prepositional phrase) with "son" (possessive adjective). Since "château" is masculine singular, we use "son."
2) L'appartement d'Annick
Son appartement.
To rewrite this sentence using possessive adjectives, we replace "d'Annick" (prepositional phrase) with "son" (possessive adjective). Since "appartement" is masculine singular, we use "son."
3) Son cousin est la fille de son oncle
Son cousin est sa fille.
To rewrite this sentence using possessive adjectives, we replace "la fille de son oncle" (prepositional phrase) with "sa fille" (possessive adjective). Since "fille" is feminine singular, we use "sa."
These rewritten sentences correctly use possessive adjectives instead of prepositional phrases. Make sure to double-check for any spelling mistakes in your answer.
