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

Possessive Pronouns In English: my, your, his/her, our, their Examples?

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.

my = mi or mis my house = mi casa my houses = mis casas your = tu or tus your friend = tu amigo your friends = tus amigos

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.

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
