    Unit 1 Lesson 1: Possessive adjectives
    • Use possessive adjectives when something belongs to someone. Possessive
    adjectives show the person or the people who have the thing.

    • Possessive adjectives go before a noun.


    • Possessive adjectives agree with the person who possesses them:
    The subject pronoun is I. The possessive adjective is my.
    The subject pronoun is you. The possessive adjective is your.
    The subject pronoun is he. The possessive adjective is his.
    The subject pronoun is she. The possessive adjective is her.
    The subject pronoun is it. The possessive adjective is its.
    The subject pronoun is we. The possessive adjective is our.
    The subject pronoun is they. The possessive adjective is their.
    Examples:
    “They're not our coats. Those are their coats.”
    “This is a photo of my wife with her parents.”

    • The form of the possessive adjective is the same before a singular or a plural
    noun.
    Example:
    “It’s our umbrella. Those are our gloves.”

    • You can use the possessive adjectives its or their to refer to things.
    Example:
    “Where is my phone? I can hear its ringtone!”

    Unit 1 Lesson 2: Possession
    • A “possession” is something that belongs to someone. Use possessive adjectives
    and possessive pronouns to talk about possessions.

    Possessive adjectives
    • Possessive adjectives show the person or the people who have the thing. The
    possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, and their.

    • Possessive adjectives go before a noun. Possessive adjectives agree with the


    person who possesses them.

    • The form of the possessive adjective is the same before a singular or a plural
    noun.

    • You can use the possessive adjectives its or their to refer to things.
    Examples:
    “That’s my grandson’s bag.”
    “Are these your gloves?”
    “Can I have my gloves, please?”
    “They’re not her gloves. They’re his gloves.”

    Possessive pronouns
    • A pronoun is a noun that is used in place of another noun. The possessive
    pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs.

    • Don't use a noun after a possessive pronoun.


    Examples:
    “No, sorry. It isn’t his. It’s mine.”
    “It’s not ours. I think it’s hers.”

    • Use whose to ask about possession.


    Example:
    “Whose water bottle is this?” / “It’s theirs. It belongs to them.”

    • A noun plus ‘s also shows possession.


    Examples:
    "This is my friend's painting."
    “That’s Paula’s bag.”
