Question

Which word meaning 'my' is used with masculine singular nouns or singular nouns of both genders that begin with a vowel?: ____________________
A. mes

B. mon

C. ma

D. m'

Answer 1

The answer is B, (mon) :)

Answer 2

Answer:

B. mon

Explanation:

In French, "mon" is used for singular masculine nouns (e.g. Je déteste mon frère) or any singular nouns that begin with a vowel or silent h (e.g. J'aime discuter avec mon amie Julie) when speaking in the first person.

The other options:

mes = my; plural first person

ma = my; feminine (when the noun does not start with vowel/silent h) first person

m' = not commonly used. You may see it in words like m'appelle but don't worry about it, mon will be used for words that start with a vowel/silent h.
