her

Usage Note

Ses is the plural possessive covering his, her, or its before plural nouns — ses livres could be his books or her books, since French marks the owner's gender nowhere here. Don't confuse it with ces (these or those) or c'est (it is); all three sound identical.

Examples

"Il aime ses parents."
