Possessive Adjectives - Adjetivos Posesivos

Se utilizan para indicar a quién pertenece el sujeto u objeto de la oración. Van seguidos de un sustantivo (o una cláusula nominal).

Possessive Adjectives
my	mi / mis
your	tu / tus
his	su / sus
her	su / sus
its	su / sus
our	nuestro/a/os/as
your	vuestro/a/os/as
their	su / sus

Como se puede observar, son muchos menos que en español, ya que no se diferencian en singular o plural. Por ejemplo:

my car mi auto
my cars mis autos

Sin embargo, debe prestar atención cuando se refiere a la tercera persona, ya que en castellano se usa "su" en todos los casos, mientras que en inglés varían según la persona.

Nota además que "your" puede referirse al singular (tu) o al plural (vuestro).

my house
your house
his house
her house
its house
our house
your house
their house

Si se está hablando de una persona y se describe su casa, se usaría his o her, según el sexo de dicha persona.

John lives in New York. His house is very big.
Susan lives in New York. Her house is very big.

Pero si se habla de un animal se debe utilizar its.

The cat lives in New York. Its name is Bob.
