Common Mistakes

  • Oui, c'est son porte.

    ‘Porte’ is feminine, so the correct possessive is ‘ta porte’ (or ‘votre porte’), not ‘son porte’.

  • Oui, c'est ma porte est.

    Do not add ‘est’ after ‘c’est’; the verb ‘être’ is already included in the contraction.

  • Oui, c’est à ta porte.

    Use ‘c’est ta porte’ for identification; ‘à ta porte’ would mean ‘at your door’, which changes the meaning.

Alternatives

  • Oui, c'est votre porte.

    Yes, that's your door. (formal/plural)

  • Exactement, c'est ta porte.

    Exactly, that's your door.

  • Oui, c'est bien ta porte.

    Yes, that's indeed your door.

Cultural Tip

In French, possessive adjectives must match the gender and number of the noun, not the owner. Because 'porte' is feminine, you say 'ta porte' (not 'ton porte'). Also, French speakers often use 'c'est' for identification (c'est + noun) and reserve 'il/elle est' for adjectives (il est grand).
