Ma vs mon use

I understand both are used to indicate my, however, I’m not sure when to use one over the other

Bonjour Jane,

Ma and Mon are a couple of the terms known as possessive adjectives.

Common mistakes with mon/ma/mes, ton/ta/tes and son/sa/ses (French Possessive Adjectives)

The link above will take you through all the various aspects of usage and I recommend that you review the lesson in its entirety to get a thorough overview of this important aspect of French grammar.

Hope you will find this helpful,

Bonne continuation

I would also add its worth learning the gender of nouns as you come across them. There are a number of helpful guides eg Identifying the gender of nouns by some specific word endings in French  Good luck!
