POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
We use them to talk about possession of something
Possessive Adjectives | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Before a noun, you often use words that help you indicate possession (they help you say who that object or thing belongs to) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Examples: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mycake!…It is my birthday….I am five today | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yourbirthday…Is it your birthday?Congratulations! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hiscomputer. It is his job. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Herbaby. It is her son Paul | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Its nest. It is its future home… | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ourmoney. Let’s share our profits. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Theirlove. It is their happiness. They are together and happy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Possessive adjectives are only one way to express possession…You can also express the same idea for example by adding ‘s to the names of people or things….But that will be explained in further units | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Claudio’ s piano. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Richard’ s dog or Fido ‘s master | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Study possessive adjectives together with personal pronouns so you will remember the connection between them better… | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
