Questions & Answers about Mes chaussures sont confortables.

Why is the word for "my" written as mes instead of ma or mon?

In French, mes is used when referring to more than one object (it’s the plural form). Ma is used for a single feminine noun (e.g., ma chaussure), and mon is used for a single masculine noun (e.g., mon livre). Because chaussures is plural, we use mes.

Is there a feminine or masculine form for chaussures?

Chaussures is feminine in French (singular: une chaussure), but here it’s plural, so we say mes chaussures. You can see it’s feminine because its singular form is la chaussure.

Why does the adjective confortables come after the noun?

In French, most adjectives come after the noun, unlike in English. Some exceptions exist (like petit or grand), but confortables follows the standard pattern of placing the adjective after the noun it modifies.

Do I need to change confortables for feminine or plural forms?

Yes. In French, adjectives agree with the number and gender of the nouns they describe. Since chaussures is feminine and plural, the adjective confortable takes an -s ending to become confortables.
