1. POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
There are 2 ways to express possession in English.
Use ‘s to show an item belongs to a specific person
Ex. Maria’s sweater
2. Use a possessive adjective
Ex. my sweater
Instead of adding ‘s to the owner, Spanish uses this formula:
Possession + de + owner
Ex. El suéter de Maria

Your (fam.s.)- tu, tus
Your (Form.s.)-

His, her, its, their- su, sus
Our – nuestro, nuestra, nuestros, nuestras
Your (fam.pl.) – vuestro, vuestra, vuestros, vuestras
Your (form.pl.) –
