Possessive Adjectives Exercises (A1) — Free

Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, their

Possessive adjectives say who something belongs to: I → my, you → your, he → his, she → her, it → its, we → our, they → their. They go before a noun (my bag, their house) and never change for plural nouns: it's 'my books', not 'mys books'. 'His' and 'her' depend on the owner, not on the thing: Tom loves his mother; Anna loves her father. A common mistake is to choose by the noun, as in 'Paul is talking to her mother'; it's 'his mother' because Paul is the owner. Don't confuse 'its' (belonging to it) with 'it's' (it is), or 'their' with 'they're' (they are) and 'there' (a place).
