Part 1: Match Subjective Pronouns with Possessive Adjectives
We need to pair each subject pronoun (like “I”, “you”, etc.) with its correct possessive adjective (like “my”, “your”, etc.).
Here’s how they match:
-
I →
my
*(When I say something belongs to me, I use “my”)*
-
we →
our
*(If it belongs to us, we say “our”)*
-
you →
your
*(If it belongs to you, we say “your”)*
-
he →
his
*(For a boy or man, we use “his”)*
-
she →
her
*(For a girl or woman, we use “her”)*
-
it →
its
*(For animals or things, we use “its”)*
-
they →
their
*(For more than one person or thing, we use “their”)*
So the matches are:
→ I – my
→ we – our
→ you – your
→ he – his
→ she – her
→ it – its
→ they – their
