Possessive adjectives
Los adjetivos posesivos permiten indicar a quién le pertenece algo. Hay un adjetivo diferente
para cada persona cuya forma es única. Se utiliza de igual si se habla de uno o varios objetos.
En general, el adjetivo posesivo siempre estará acompañado del objeto que le pertenece al
sujeto.
Ejemplo
I have his boots  Yo tengo sus botas
These are your words  Estas son tus palabras
This is their classroom  Este es su salon de clases
She has her own problems  Ella tiene sus propios problemas
NOTA: El adjetivo posesivo siempre irá tras el objeto perteneciente.

Possessive pronouns
Al igual que los adjetivos posesivos, los pronombres posesivos permiten indicar a quién le
pertenece algo. Existe igualmente uno para cada persona. Se diferencian principalmente en su
ubicación en una frase. Los pronombres posesivos nunca estarán acompañados
inmediatamente después del objeto cuya posesión se muestra. Hay casos en el que el objeto
puede ser omitido.
Ejemplo:
This house is mine  Esta casa es mía
That book is your  Ese libro ese suyo
These keys are his  Estas llaves son suyas
Those cars are hers  Esos carros son suyos
The toy is its  El juguete es suyo
That classroom is ours  Este salón de clase es nuestro
Those ties are theirs  Esas corbatas son suyas
Nota: Los adjetivos posesivos (Possessive pronouns) responden a la pregunta ¿de

quién es? O en inglés: Whose= de quién.
Construcción con la particula “Whose”:
Whose + object + verb “to be” + demonstrative pronouns ?
Ejemplo: Whose computer is this?  ¿de quién es este computador?

El genitivo sajón
Es otra manera de expresar a quién le pertenece algo. Se emplea cuando se agrega un
apóstrofe seguido de la letra ese (‘s) al dueño seguido del objeto que le pertenece Es una
forma más corta y sencilla de mostrar la propiedad en comparación al usar la preposición “of”
(de). Por ejemplo:
Demonstrative pronouns
This: Este, esta.  Funciona para señalar un objeto cercano.
That: ese, eso, esa, aquel, aquella.  Funciona para señalar un objeto lejano.
These: Estos, estas.  Funciona para señalar 2 o más objetos cercanos.
Those: Esos, esas, aquellos, aquellas  Funciona para señalar 2 o más objetos lejanos.
Object pronouns
Los pronombres objeto (Object pronouns) se usan para remplazar la persona (o el objeto) del que
se está hablando. Por lo tanto, siempre irán después del verbo.
Ejemplos:
Oración sin object pronoun: Karla miró a Juan Karla looked at John.
Oración con Object pronoun: Karla lo miró  Karla looked him.
