❢ In French determiners agree in gender and number with the noun they qualify. So when one's is used as a determiner it is translated by son + masculine singular noun ( son argent), by sa + feminine noun ( sa voiture) BUT by son + feminine noun beginning with a vowel or mute h ( son assiette) and by ses + plural noun ( ses enfants).When one's is stressed, à soi is added after the noun. When one's is used as a reflexive pronoun it is translated by se or s' before a vowel or mute h: to brush one's teeth = se brosser les dents ; ⇒ The human body. For examples and particular usages see the entry below.A = one is, one has.B det son/sa/ses ; to wash one's hands se laver les mains ; one's books/friends ses livres/amis ; one tries to do one's best on essaye de faire de son mieux ; it upsets one's concentration ça perturbe la concentration ; it limits one's options ça limite les choix ; a house/car of one's own une maison/voiture à soi. -
