Possessives pronouns (adicional)

Possessive pronouns are describing who owns something. (like mine, yours, theirs and ours in Spanish)

This is my car ----- Este es mi carroThis is mine ------ Este es mío

Example

Adj. Pos + Obj.

The possessive form of a noun is used to show possession. A noun is possessive if a sentence can be changed to a thing or an idea belonging to something.

The possessive form of a noun is created by adding an apostrophe and an "s" after the noun. The possessive noun always gets ahead of you own or have.

Example

My neighbor's house is very big My friend's guitar is expensive Mary's cat is very nice My mom's hair is beautiful and smells very rich The focus of the house The chair of the House

Note: when the holder is an inanimate object or normally uses "of + noun" in the structure:
