What this grammar point covers
Possessive adjectives are words we use in English to show that something belongs to someone. They come before a noun.
When to use it
Use possessive adjectives in English to say who owns or has something. They always go before the noun: 'my book', 'their car'.
Key forms
- my
- your
- his
- her
- its
- our
- their
Examples
Her brother is tall.
Our teacher is kind.
Their house is big.
His dog is friendly.
Tips
- Possessive adjectives always come before the noun.
- Do not use an article (a, the) with possessive adjectives.
- Be careful: 'its' (possessive) is different from 'it's' (it is).
