2. Possessive Adjectives
To show possession of something (my, yours, his, hers, ours, etc.), we use possessive adjectives.
We do the same thing in English – my house, his sister, etc.
However, in Spanish, possessive adjectives must agree in number with the nouns they describe.

3. Here are the possessive adjectives in Spanish
My = mi (s)
Your = tu (s)
His/her/its/your (formal) =
Su (s)
Our = nuestro(s)/nuestra (s)
Your (Spain)= vuestro(s)/vuestra(s)
Their/your (Uds.) = su (s)

4. Examples She is my aunt. They are my aunts She is our grandma.
They are our grandparents.
Ella es mi tía.
Ellas son mis tías.
Ella es nuestra abuela.
Ellos son nuestros abuelos.

5. ****IMPORTANT POINT*****
NOTICE THAT NUESTRO AND VUESTRO ALSO MUST AGREE IN GENDER WITH THE NOUNS THEY DESCRIBE.
