FEMININE
 

Note that in English, the gender of the possessive adjective depends on the possessor's gender: "he has his book"; "she has her purse." In French, the gender of the possession not the possessor) is what determines whether the masculine son or feminine sa is used or singular nouns.

As with mon, ma, and mes, if a singular noun begins with a vowel or silent h-, son will be used regardless of the gender of the possession: e.g., Son habitude (f.)—"his/her habit."

To express "their" in French, you use leur when there is a single object, and leurs when there are several objects. As with nos and notre, the forms for the masculine and the feminine are the same.
