Gender of assiette
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate regular -ir verbs in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"
Asked 4 years ago
With possessive pronouns, you use the male form if the female form would have a clash of two vowels:
ma amie --> mon amie
ta assiette --> ton assiette
Bonjour!
As Chris stated, the issue here is that assiette starts with a vowel.
