in English:
1st person, singular -- my
3rd person, singular -- his, her, its
1st person, plural -- our
2nd person, sing./pl. -- your
3rd person, plural -- their
In English, the gender and number of
the possessor determines the form of the
possessive adjective:
--I have a credit card. It's my credit
card.
--She has some money. It's her money.
NOTE: Often the subject of the verb is
not the person who owns the noun. Be careful
about this. You must know the gender and
number of the owner to be able to use
possessive adjectives correctly:
--Are you buying his ticket or her ticket?
--I'm buying his ticket. |
