Be very careful with the spelling. "cousin" for example is cousin but "cuisine" is kitchen! Where are the necessary accent marks? I can tell you how to make them with the computer if you tell me 2 things:

1. PC or MAC?
2. Windows or not?

1. (Ans.) Son père est dans la cuisine. (Her father is in the kitchen.)

2. (shorter) Sa soeur est blonde. (Her sister is blonde.)

Perhaps the difficulty is that you don't know what you are working with? son, sa, ses are Possessive Adjectives. You might like to see them all.

Possessive adjectives in French agree with the THING possesed and not with the person possessing the thing. When you see Le père de Marine. "Le père, the father, is masculine singular BUT Marine is feminine singular. So, although you are talking about the father, SON père means "her" father in this case because it Marine's father.

my (something masculine and singular) MON
(something feminine and singular)
MA
(something plural)
MES
examples: mon livre, ma maison, mes choses

your (the familiar form "tu")
(something masculine and singular)
ton
(something feminine and singular)
ta
(something plural)
tes

examples: ton frère, ta soeur, tes parents

his, her, its (all of those in English)
(something masculine and singular)
son
(something feminine and singular)
sa
(something plural)
ses
examples: son livre = just looking at the French you won't be able to tell if it's HIS, HER or ITS book!
sa maison = HIS, HER or ITS house/mone
ses choses = HIS, HER or ITS things

PLURAL forms:
our = (something masculine, singular)
notre
(something fem., singular)
notre (yes, they are identical!)
(something plural, either masculine or feminine, it doesn't matter)
nos
examples: notre lycée = our school
notre voiture = our car
nos livres = our books
nos maisons = our houses

Are you with me so far? Now, why don't you try numbers 3 through 7 and then I can help you better if you make any errors!

In number 1, for example, you were looking at THE father of Marine. You do not want to replace it with HER father of Marine. Just HER father. Look carefully at my answers in #1 and #2.

Sra (aka Mme)

P.S. I didn't finish with the plural. Sorry.

your ("vous" which is formal, singular or plural)
(something masc. and sing.)
votre
(also something fem. and sing.)
votre

(something singular, whether masculine or feminine)
leur
(something plural, whether masculine or feminine)

examples: leur maison (their house)
leurs maisons (their houses)

***something you may not have seen yet about mo, ton, and son. INSTEAD of ma, ta, and sa before a feminin e singular noun beginning with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or silent h:

examples: mon idée (my idea, although "idée" is feminine the SOUND of "ma idée" would choke you! For SOUND "mon" is used.
ton adresse
son habitude
(just more examples of feminine, singular nouns beginning with a vowel or silent "h."
