Key Points

The possessive adjective is used in the singular form with singular nouns and in the plural form with plural nouns (mi libro, mis libros).
Possessive adjectives go in front of the noun (unlike most adjectives in Spanish which go after the noun).

Practice

In Spanish to describe possession, you say that something is of someone (de = of). In this exercise change the description of who the book belongs to use a possessive adjective. Select the correct word.

Example:
el libro de Sara (Sara's book) → su libro (her book)

Writing Practice

Write some possessive adjectives together with nouns. If you have more knowledge of Spanish, you could even write sentences using the possessive adjective. Write the "Writing Practice" in the comments section below.
