Son amie
In some other lesson I read that we use ´son' for amie. This is probably to ease pronunciation. My question is what is the rule if there is an adjective between son and amie that doesn't begin with a vowel. Is son petit ´amie' or ' sa petite ami' correct?
This question relates to:French lesson "Common mistakes with mon/ma/mes, ton/ta/tes and son/sa/ses (French Possessive Adjectives)"

Bonjour Meghna !
The ending of the possessive adjective is determined by the word directly following it, therefore you will say "ma petite amie" :)
I've now added a note about this case to the relevant lesson.
I hope that's helpful!
Bonne Année !
