What are Possessive Adjectives?
Possessive adjectives show who owns a thing. We put these words right before a noun. For example, we say 'my pen' or 'your bag'. They change depending on who has the thing. We use 'my' for I, 'your' for you, 'his' for a man, and 'her' for a woman.
This is my book.The book belongs to me.
Where is your coat?The coat belongs to you.
His car is red.The car belongs to him.
Her name is Anna.The name belongs to her.
Talking about Animals, Groups, and Everyone
We use 'its' for animals or things, like a dog or a phone. We use 'our' when something belongs to you and me together. We use 'their' when something belongs to a group of other people. Always match the word to the owner, not the object.
The dog wags its tail.The tail belongs to the dog.
This is our classroom.The classroom belongs to us.
Their house is big.The house belongs to them.
