Attention: en français, les adjectifs possessifs «son», «sa», «ses» s’accordent en genre (féminin, masculin) et en nombre (singulier ou pluriel) avec le nom qui suit (par exemple «son nom», «sa chanson», «ses chaussures»), mais en anglais, le genre des adjectifs possessifs “his” “her” dépend de la personne dont on parle:

            - “his” s’il s’agit d’un homme

                                    - “her” s’il s’agit d’une femme

Le pluriel “their” ne s’emploiera que si l’on parle de quelque chose qui appartient à plusieurs personnes ou qui concerne plusieurs personnes.

ex: I like rap singers. Their talent is great.
