The possessive adjectives in English are as follows:
Subject | Possessive Adjective |
---|---|
I | My |
You | Your |
He | His |
She | Her |
It | Its |
We | Our |
You (pl) | Your |
They | Their |
Examples
- My car is very old.
- Her boyfriend is very friendly.
- Our dog is black.
- Their homework is on the table.
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)
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.
