✦Grammar Breakdown
Monassurancecouvreça?
Mon (possessive adjective)
Use "mon" before a feminine noun that begins with a vowel or mute h to avoid the hiatus; "assurance" starts with a vowel, so "mon assurance" is correct.
couvrir (verb)
The verb "couvrir" is conjugated in the present indicative third person singular as "couvre" to match the singular noun "assurance".
ça (demonstrative pronoun)
"ça" means "that" or "it"; it is informal and commonly used in spoken French for referring to something previously mentioned.
