Notes

Votre agrees in number with the noun that follows, not with the number of people we’re talking to. It is the same in both masculine and feminine forms.

e.g.:

Marie asks Léa and Tom: What’s the name of your brother?(Comment s’appelle votre frère ?) because Léa and Tom only have one other brother (frère).

Marie asks Tom and Jerry: What’s the name of your sister?(Comment s’appelle votre sœur ?) because Tom and Jerry only have one sister (sœur).
