    HELLO EVERYBODY. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? LET’S WORK!

    En esta clase conoceremos como expresar posesión o pertenencia en Inglés. Abordaremos el


    uso del Caso Posesivo y el uso de los adjetivos y pronombres posesivos.

    Possessives

    Possessive Possessive
    Adjectives Pronouns
    I my mine

    You your yours

    He his his

    She her hers

    It its ---

    We our ours

    You your yours

    They their theirs

    POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

    a) We use possessive adjectives before nouns:

    His book Their dogs


    noun noun
    b) Possessive adjectives show that something belongs to someone:

    I´m Mark. This is my house They are my neighbors. This is their new car

    c) They are also used to show the relationship between two or more people:

    She is Kate. Tom is her brother He is Mike. They are his parents

    They are Robert and Anna. Tim and Katy are their grandchildren

    Possesive adjectives do not change with plural forms:


    our students, his cousins

    POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

    a) Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone, but they


    do not take a noun after them.

    b) We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a full noun phrase to avoid


    repeating words.
    Are these John's books?
    No, they are mine. (NOT ‘No, they are my books’)

    Whose coat is this? Is it yours? (NOT Is it your coat?)

    The Possessive Case


    a) We add -’s when a noun is singular to show possession and relationships:

    This is Mark’s house

    Tom is Kate’s brother

    They are Mike’s parents

    b) We add -’ when a noun is plural and ends in –s to show possession and


    relationship:

    This is my neighbors’ new car

    This is the boys’ bedroom

    c) When we have two or more nouns, we add -’s to the last noun.
    Tim and Katy are Robert and Anna´s grandchildren

    We don´t use a thing or an object + ‘s:

    The end of the movie (NOT the movie´s end)

    Who…? or Whose…?
    ➢ We use Who to talk about people. For example:

    “Who is Tom? He is Kate’s brother”

    ➢ We use Whose to ask about possession. For example:

    “Whose is this house? It’s Mark’s”
