✕Common Mistakes

  • Je regarde mon série préférée.

    ‘Mon’ is masculine; ‘série’ is feminine, so the correct possessive is ‘ma’.

  • Je regarde ma série préféré.

    The adjective must agree with the feminine noun ‘série’, so add an ‘e’.

  • Je regarder ma série préférée.

    In the present tense for ‘je’, the verb ends with -e: ‘regarde’.
