Notes

GENERAL INFO

Mes means "my" (plural). It is a possessive adjective, used to indicate that multiple items belong to the speaker.

USAGE

It always precedes a plural noun, regardless of the noun's gender. For example: *mes livres* (my books), *mes chaussures* (my shoes). It never changes form.

TRAPS

Do not confuse mes with *mon* (my, masculine singular) or *ma* (my, feminine singular). Mes is exclusively for plural nouns, while *mon* and *ma* are for singular nouns.
