Posessive1

Grammar Notes

In order to show that that is "your" cat or "his" turtle, you use the possessive adjectives in "Lessons" below. This possessive is placed after the object being possessed, and the gender of the adjective matches the possessor, not the object. Also, all objects possessed must have an before them, because the possessive adjective indicates the definiteness of the noun (unless they are family members and/or addressed directly).
