En español… * = MUST MATCH IN GENDER In Spanish, they use a similar format (called the short form) to express possession. • My = mi(s) • Your (informal) = tu(s) [no accent] • His/her/your (formal) = su(s) • Our = nuestro(s)/nuestra(s)* • Y’all’s (SP) = vuestro(s)/vuestra(s)* • Their/you all’s = su(s) These are placed BEFORE the noun. ex. My desk mi escritorio

En español… Like regular adjectives in Spanish, possessive adjectives have to agree with the noun they modify. ◦ singular or plural ◦ masculine or feminine* * = used only for nosotros/vosotros form Ejemplos: ◦ Él es su sobrino. (He is her cousin. ) ◦ Son sus pantalones. (They are his pants. ) ◦ Es nuestra bolsa. (It is our bag. ) ◦ Son nuestros calcetines. (They are our uncles. )
