POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
Possessive adjectives are always followed by a NOUN.
Examples: my father, our house, her beautiful friend…
BE CAREFUL!
its (possessive) ≠ it’s (it + is)
It’s a school.
Its name is Queen’s School.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Possessive pronouns are never followed by a NOUN.
Compare these examples:
This is my car. This car is mine.
This is your book. This book is yours.
When we want to ask who is the owner of an object we use:
‘whose’ + SINGULAR/PLURAL NOUN
Examples:
Whose book is this?
It’s my book. / This book is mine.
Whose photocopies are these?
These are our photocopies. / These photocopies are ours.
‘a friend of mine’
(‘un amigo mío/uno de mis amigos’)
Examples:
My sister went out with a friend of hers last weekend.
Sandra and I know Mike. He’s a friend of ours.
