Possessive pronouns
-We learned before how to talk about persons’ possession
of things using the possessive adjectives .
-We know that possessive adjectives come before a noun.
Ex:
I have a dress,my dress is pink.
Now we are going to learn how to talk about persons’s
possession of things without using the noun. Ex:
-This is my ball, it is mine.
-This is Ali’s bike, it is his.
