  1. Hi Roy,

    You wrote: "votre is used with masculine singular objects"

    In fact it is used with masculine and feminine singular objects or persons.

    You use "votre" when you say "vous" to somenone:

    Votre fille (feminine person)
    Votre maison (feminine object)

    etc.

    Have a nice day,
    Isabelle
