Possessive Adjectives
Possessive Adjectives
The possessive adjective needs to agree with the possessor and not with the thing that is possessed.
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)
We do not include an S to the adjective when the noun is plural like in many other languages.
Examples:
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.

Possessive Adjectives - Adjetivos Posesivo (spanish)
Se utilizan para indicar a quién pertenece el sujeto u objeto de la oración. Van seguidos de un sustantivo (o una cláusula nominal).
Como se puede observar, son muchos menos que en español, ya que no se diferencian en singular o plural. Por ejemplo:
my car mi auto
my books mis libros
Sin embargo, debes prestar atención cuando se refieren a la tercera persona, ya que en castellano se usa "su" en todos los casos, mientras que en inglés varían según la persona.
Nota además que "your" puede referirse al singular (tu) o al plural (vuestro).
my house
your house
his house
her house
its house
our house
your house
their house
