Lesson 8: Unit 8 - Possessive Adjectives
Learn how to use the possessive adjectives my, your, his, her, its, our, their in English to express possession — without the article a/an/the.
About this lesson
In this lesson you will learn how to use the possessive adjectives in English (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) to show who something belongs to. You will understand why these words are never combined with an article (a/an/the) — an important difference from Bulgarian. You will practise the words through a real text about the Sánchez family from Madrid and answer questions about it. The lesson also includes vocabulary for family relationships and descriptions of people.
