"Ses" for One Thing
"Son" means the same thing as "ses" in French, but it is used when talking about one thing.
For example:
To say "her cat," you would say "son chat," but, to say "her cats," you would say "ses chats."
This might help with remembering the difference:
"Son" almost rhymes with the English word "one," and "ses" has an "s" at the end like many plural words do.

French word for 'son': fils
Tips to remember:
1. Associate "fils" with "family" – both words start with 'f,' and a son is a member of a family.
2. Think of the phrase "my son, my heir," where "heir" sort of rhymes with "fils" to create an auditory reminder.
3. Visualize the phrase "the father's fils," where both "father" and "fils" begin with 'f.'
Explanations:
In French, "fils" means "son," and it is pronounced roughly like /fees/ but with a silent "l" and a softer "s." It's a masculine noun so it will be "le fils" (the son) in singular and "les fils" in plural, which confusingly also means "the threads" or "the wires" but is pronounced the same way.
Other words that mean the same thing:
There aren't exact synonyms for "fils" in French when discussing a child of someone. However, phrases like "mon enfant" (my child) could be used in a broader sense which includes "son."
Alternate meanings like slang:
"Fils" doesn't have much in the way of slang uses, but it's useful to remember the plural form, which can mean "wires" or "threads," as mentioned.
Examples of sentences:
– "Mon fils va à l'école." (My son goes to school.)
Р"Le fils du boulanger est tr̬s sympathique." (The baker's son is very nice.)
– "C'est le grand fils de Jean." (That is Jean's eldest son.)
Р"Les fils ̩lectriques sont dangereux lorsqu'ils sont expos̩s." (Electrical wires are dangerous when exposed.) This sentence uses the alternate meaning of "fils" (wires).
