Also, in French the posssesive pronouns "my", "your" (singular) and "his/her its" have three different forms (mon, ma, mes; ton, ta tes amd son, sa, se) depending not on who is doing the possessing but on on whether the object(s) possessed is/are designated masculine, femine, singular or plural.
"Your" plural doesn't distinguish between feminine and masculine but still has two forms (votre and vos) depending on whether the object(s) possessed is/are singular or plural.
Once you've learned French, English grammar is a doddle.
Yep, for sure, I do agree up to a point. I have a good knowledge of Italian, French and Spanish and they all mostly follow a certain set of rules whereas English doesn't. But I think they are all unnecessarily complicated. I love languages and with French in particular have to agree that those dang irregulat verbs are a nightmare.too, and the masculines and feminines. But I still think it's easier to learn 'le voiture de Bill' than Bill's car and all the other apostrophes. For example one used to say "hair do's" which is pretty clear, but in reality it should be "hair dos" which is plain stupid.
