Possessive adjective (ta)
"Ta" is the feminine singular form of the possessive adjective meaning "your" (informal). It must agree with the gender of the noun that follows.
Noun gender (réservation)
"Réservation" is a feminine noun, so any adjective or past participle that modifies it must be in the feminine form.
Verb être (est)
"Est" is the third‑person singular present of "être" and is used here to form a passive construction.
Past participle agreement (confirmée)
In the passive voice, the past participle agrees with the subject. Because "réservation" is feminine singular, "confirmé" takes the ending –ée.

Cultural Tip
In French, "ta" is informal; for business or with strangers, use "votre". French establishments often send a written confirmation (email or SMS) that repeats the phrase "Votre réservation a été confirmée". Paying attention to the gender agreement (confirmée vs. confirmé) is crucial, as errors are quickly noticed by native speakers.
