mon ma mes = my my my
Rules are different in English and in French.
Look at these 3 examples:
mon lit --> my bed ma chambre --> my room mes clés --> my keys
MY is translated in 3 different ways in French : MON, MA, MES. That is because it agrees with the noun that it modifies, the noun that follows.
- If the noun is masculine, the adjective is masculine: lit is masculine, so we pick from the masculine column: mon
- If the noun is feminine, the adjective is feminine: chambre is feminine, so we pick from the feminine column: ma
- If the noun is plural, the adjective is plural: clés is plural, so we pick from the plural column: mes
