Expressing possessionIn English, we use ‘s to indicate that

something belongs to someone. the book of Mariela Mariela’s book

In Spanish, ‘s does not make sense. It does not exist. So we use the first, longer form.

the book of Mariela

The object comes first

the book of Marielael libro

de Mariela

Moving from English to Spanish We won’t see phrases written in

the order we just saw. Usually in English, we use the ‘s form. So we need to be able to rearrange the phrase before translating it.

Miguel’s friend the friend of Miguel el amigo de Miguel

Rearrange the phrases, then translate them to Spanish. 1. The girl’s father2. Juana’s sister3. Miguel’s stepfather4. Rosario’s mother-in-law5. Sara’s friendship6. Rico’s baby

Possessive PronounsIn English: my, your, his/her, our, their

Examples?

my = mimy house = mi casa

*Note: We don’t say “mi la casa.” It’s the same as saying “my the house.” You only need ONE article. You can have a definite article (el, la, los, las), an indefinite article (un, una, unos, unas), or a possessive article. You cannot have more than one.

my = mi or mismy house = mi casa• my houses = mis casas

• your = tu or tus• your friend = tu amigo

• your friends = tus amigos

his, her, their, your (plural) = su or sushis shirt = su

camisa• her shirts = sus camisas• their hat = su sombrero• their hats = sus sombreros

*Note: mi, tu, and su do not change when the object is feminine. Why? *Note: Add an S when they have more than one thing.

For OUR, the rules are a little bit different. You DO change the end of the word when the object is feminine.

• our = nuestro, nuestra, nuestros, nuestras

• our book =

nuestro libro• our house = nuestra casa• our books = • our houses =

nuestros librosnuestras casas
