    Chapter 5: Cornell Notes: Possessive Adjectives

    Questions: Notes
    • Possessive adjectives show ownership or relationships between people.
    They are placed before the noun.
    Owner Owner
    Yo Mi libro My book Nosotros Nuestro libro Our book
    Nuestra casa Our house
    Mis libros My books Nuestros libros Our books
    Nuestras casas Our houses
    Tú Tu libro Your book Vosotros Vuestro libro Your book
    Vuestra casa Your house
    Tus libros Your books Vuestros libros Your books
    Vuestras casas Your houses

    Ella Su libro Her book Ellas Su libro Their book
    Sus libros Her books Sus libros Their books
    Usted Su libro Your book Ustedes Su libro Their book
    Sus libros Your books Sus libros Their books
    • While possessive adjectives refer to the owner, their form agrees in gender
    and number with the noun that comes after them.

    • Martín vive con sus abuelos.


    Notice that Martin and sus agrees, and that abuelos and sus agrees.

    • Carlos y yo vivimos con nuestra abuela.


    Notice that Carlos y yo agrees with nuestra, and then nuestra is feminine
    because of abuela.
    • Basically we choose the word depending on the person who owns the item,
    and make it agree with the gender and number of the item itself.
