Great. Now let's break down what we just heard. First, we heard: 'C'est mon livre.' This means 'It is my book.' We use 'mon' before masculine singular nouns.

So, we use 'mon' because 'livre' is a masculine word?

9. Teacher
Exactly. 'Un livre' is masculine, so it becomes 'mon livre'. Next, we heard: 'C'est ma table.' This means 'It is my table.'

10. Student
Ah, so we use 'ma' because 'table' is feminine?
Audio ready
11. Teacher
Precisely. 'Une table' is feminine, so we say 'ma table'. Finally, we heard: 'Où sont mes clés?' which means 'Where are my keys?'

12. Student
So 'mes' is for plural things, like keys?
Audio ready
13. Teacher
Yes! 'Mes' is for plural nouns, whether they are masculine or feminine. 'Mes clés' for my keys, or 'mes livres' for my books. Well done!
