Can we use possessive adjectives instead of the definite articles? Why not?
- Pourquoi ma chatte s'est-elle léché sa patte ? [Why did my cat lick HER paw?]
- Tu te laves tes mains? [Are you washing YOUR hands?]
- Il se lave ses cheveux. [He's washing HIS hair.]
It is a little confusing, could you please explain?
Salut Aashpreet,
Special cases when you use mon/ma/mes/etc with parts of the body (French Possessive Adjectives)
I think the link above will help you with this query -- this type of question was asked some time ago on the Forum.
Bonne continuation
Jim
