Confused

But if you do use possessive adjectives when another person is involved, why can't I say "François reste dehors, ses chaussures couvertes de boue." François is another person. Am I misunderstanding and what you meant by "other person"?

How does it work then? Do you use"les pieds" to say "He washes his feet" but "ses pieds" if I'm washing his feet? Is that right?

Marie fait du mal à moi quand elle dit ça... Why has this been marked wrong in my test? Couldn't it mean she has hurt 'me' - rather than anyone else
