Possessive adjectives
The possessive adjectives in English are used to show ownership or relationship. They are placed before the noun they modify. In fact, the words "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their" show to whom something belongs.
- My book is on the table.
- I'am looking for your keys.
- His car is very fast.
- She loves her dog.
- The cat licked its paw. (el gato lamió su pata)
- This is our house.
- They are playing with their toys.
Se llaman adjetivos posesivos porque van antes del sustantivo y describen a quién pertenece algo.
Demonstrative
Demonstrative are used to point to specific things. In English, there are four demonstrative pronouns: "this," "that," "these," and "those."
- This is my friend. (singular, cerca)
- That is my house. (singular, lejos)
- These are my books. (plural, cerca)
- Those are my shoes. (plural, lejos)
Dialogue
In the following dialogue, you will see how to use possessive adjectives and demonstrative pronouns in context.
| Personajes | Diálogo |
|---|---|
| Anna | Hi! This is my friend, John |
| John | Nice to meet you! Is this your car, Anna? |
| Anna | Yes, it is. And that is my house over there |
| John | Wow! Your house is beautiful. Are those your kids playing in the yard? |
| Anna | Yes, they are. This is my son, Mike, and that is my daughter, Sarah |
| Mike | Hi! Nice to meet you! |
| Sarah | Hello! Do you want to play with us? |
| John | Sure! I'd love to play with you both |
I'd: Is the contraction of "I would" or "I had," depending on the context. Significa "yo haría" o "yo había". In this dialogue, it means "I would love to play with you both."
