✦Grammar Breakdown
Tachambreestprête
Ta (possessive adjective)
‘Ta’ means ‘your’ and is used with feminine singular nouns; it agrees with the gender of the noun it modifies.
chambre (feminine noun)
‘chambre’ means ‘room’ (as in a bedroom or hotel room) and is feminine, so adjectives describing it must be in the feminine form.
est (être, present)
‘est’ is the third‑person singular present of the verb ‘être’ (to be). It links the subject to a description.
prête (adjective, feminine)
‘prête’ means ‘ready’. Because ‘chambre’ is feminine, the adjective takes the feminine ending –e.

✕Common Mistakes
Ta chambre est prêt.
‘prêt’ is masculine; the adjective must agree with the feminine noun ‘chambre’, so use ‘prête’.
Ton chambre est prête.
‘ton’ is the masculine possessive adjective; because ‘chambre’ is feminine, you need ‘ta’.

Cultural Tip
In French hospitality, ‘votre’ is preferred when speaking to strangers or customers because it shows respect. ‘Ta’ is informal and should only be used with friends, family, or children. Also, the liaison between ‘chambre’ and ‘est’ (‑‿ɛ) is typical in spoken French, so you’ll hear it as /ʃɑ̃bʁ‿ɛ/.
