    Possessive Adjectives

    ● Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership of something. While we use
    them when we refer to people, it is more in the sense of relationship than ownership.
    ● The possessive adjective needs to agree with the possessor and not with the possessed
    thing.

    Examples

    My car is very old.


    Her boyfriend is very friendly.
    Our dog is black.
    Their homework is on the table.

    ● Like all adjectives in English, they are always located directly in front of the noun they
    refer to. (Possessive Adjective + Noun). So, they are in the place of an adjective.
    ● We do not include an S to the adjective when the noun is plural like in many other
    languages.

    Examples:
    Liverpool Institute
    Elementary
    Name:
    Date:
    Our cars are expensive. (Correct)
    Ours cars are expensive. (Incorrect)

    ● However, the verb that is used needs to be in agreement with the noun - if the noun is
    singular then the verb is singular; if the noun is plural then the verb is plural.

    Examples:

    ● My pen is black. (Singular)


    My pens are black. (Plural)
    ● Our child is intelligent. (Singular)
    Our children are intelligent. (Plural)

    Its vs. It's


    Be careful not to confuse its and it's.

    Its = The possessive adjective for It.


    It's = a contraction of it is.

    Activities:
    Complete with the correct possessive adjective: My, your, our, their, her, his, its
    1. My dad likes to brush _______ teeth after every meal.
    2. When you go swimming, do you open ____ eyes underwater?
    3. Lucy's always talking about ______ new boyfriend. It's really boring.
    4. Good morning, children. Please open _____ books on page 87.
    5. Ruth and Steven have a very close relationship with ____ grandparents.
