Questions & Answers about Marie enlève son tablier, remet ses pantoufles et cherche ses clés.

Why is it son tablier and not sa tablier, even though Marie is female?

Because French possessive adjectives agree with the thing possessed, not with the owner.

• tablier is a masculine singular noun
• so French uses son

So:

• Marie enlève son tablier = Marie takes off her apron

English uses her because Marie is female, but French looks at tablier, not at Marie.

Why do we have ses pantoufles and ses clés?

Because pantoufles and clés are plural nouns, so the possessive adjective must also be plural:

• son / sa = singular possessed noun
• ses = plural possessed noun

So:

• ses pantoufles = her slippers
• ses clés = her keys

Also, ses can mean his, her, or sometimes their, depending on the context. Here it clearly means her, because the subject is Marie.
