ESPAÑOL UNO CAPÍTULO 6 ADJETIVOS POSESIVOS
Adjetivos Posesivos Possessive adjectives, like descriptive adjectives, are words that are used to describe people, places, or things. Possessive adjectives express the quality of ownership or possession.
Formas de los adjetivos nuestro / nuestros mi / mis nuestra / nuestras vuestro / vuestros tu / tus vuestra / vuestras su / sus su / sus
inglés -v- español In English, possessive adjectives do not agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. my cousin my aunt my cousins my aunts
Adjective Rule Spanish possessive adjectives agree in # & gender with the noun modified. mi primo mi tía mis primos mis tías
The forms nuestro and vuestro agree in both gender and number with the nouns they modify. nuestro primo nuestra tía nuestros primos nuestras tías
Placement Possessive adjectives are always placed before the nouns they modify. —¿Está tu hermano aquí? —No, mi hermano está en la biblioteca.
Because su and sus have multiple meanings (your, his, her, their, its), you can avoid confusion by using this construction instead: [article] + [noun] + de + [subject pronoun]. sus parientes los parientes de él/ella his/her relatives los parientes de Ud./Uds. your relatives los parientes de ellos/ellas their relatives
