English uses possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) and possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs). ### Also included - ’s and s’ (John’s book, the students’ bags) - Whose…? questions ### Goal You’ll practice the differences so you don’t mix “my/mine” or “their/theirs”. ### Practice tip Write 5 sentences using this grammar point.
