Do Now: Take out the work from last class to be checked & Translate the following phrases. 1. our calculator 2. his desk 3. her pencil 4. their computer 5. my book 6. your notebook 7. his backpack 8. my printer 9. our paper 10. your pen
2
Expressing possession In English, we use ‘s to indicate that something belongs to someone. the book of Mariela Mariela’s book In Spanish, ‘s does not make sense. It does not exist. So we use the first, longer form. the book of Mariela
3
The object comes first the book of Mariela el libro de Mariela
4
Translate the phrases to Spanish. 1. The family of Miguel 2. The twin of Inés 3. the great-grandmother of Julia 4. the dress of Esmerelda 5. the hat of Jose 6. The computer of the teacher
5
Moving from English to Spanish We won’t see phrases written in the order we just saw. Usually in English, we use the ‘s form. So we need to be able to rearrange the phrase before translating it. Miguel’s friend the friend of Miguel el amigo de Miguel
6
Rearrange the phrases, then translate them to Spanish. 1. The girl’s father 2. Juana’s sister 3. Miguel’s stepfather 4. Rosario’s mother-in-law 5. Sara’s friendship 6. Rico’s baby

Possessive Pronouns In English: my, your, his/her, our, their Examples?
8
my = mi my house = mi casa *Note: We don’t say “mi la casa.” It’s the same as saying “my the house.” You only need ONE article. You can have a definite article (el, la, los, las), an indefinite article (un, una, unos, unas), or a possessive article. You cannot have more than one.
9
my = mi or mis my house = mi casa my houses = mis casas your = tu or tus your friend = tu amigo your friends = tus amigos
10
his, her, their, your (plural) = su or sus his shirt = su camisa her shirts = sus camisas their hat = su sombrero their hats = sus sombreros *Note: mi, tu, and su do not change when the object is feminine. Why? *Note: Add an S when they have more than one thing.
11
For OUR, the rules are a little bit different. You DO change the end of the word when the object is feminine. our = nuestro, nuestra, nuestros, nuestras our book = nuestro libro our house = nuestra casa our books = our houses = nuestros libros nuestras casas
