A1 Grammar Possessive Adjectives (my, your, her, his)

Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership. They tell us to whom something belongs. The most common possessive adjectives are my, your, his, and her. These adjectives are always followed by a noun.

Here are the basic rules for using possessive adjectives:

My is used for something that belongs to the speaker.

Example: My book is on the table. (The book belongs to me.)

Your is used for something that belongs to the person you are speaking to.

Example: Your phone is on the desk. (The phone belongs to you.)

His is used for something that belongs to a man or boy.

Example: His car is blue. (The car belongs to him.)

Her is used for something that belongs to a woman or girl.

Example: Her shoes are new. (The shoes belong to her.)

Examples:

"This is my cat."

"That is your house."

"Is that his bag?"

"Is this her pen?"
