Questions & Answers about Sa routine quotidienne devient plus agréable quand il combine travail, sport et lecture.
In French, possessive adjectives (son / sa / ses) agree with the gender and number of the noun, not with the owner.
- routine is a feminine noun (la routine), so you must use sa.
- If the noun were masculine, you’d use son (e.g. son travail – his work).
So:
- sa routine = his/her routine (because routine is feminine)
- son livre = his/her book (because livre is masculine)
The context (here: il) tells you it means his, not her.
Many French adjectives come after the noun, and quotidien / quotidienne (daily) is one of them.
- The base form is quotidien (masculine singular).
- It must agree with routine, which is feminine singular, so it becomes quotidienne (adding -ne).
Forms:
- masculine singular: quotidien (un rythme quotidien)
- feminine singular: quotidienne (une routine quotidienne)
- masculine plural: quotidiens
- feminine plural: quotidiennes
