Repaso de los adjetivos posesivos
Possessive adjectives 	

Possessive adjectives are descriptive words used to show possession (ownership). 
¿Quién es ella? Es mi hermana.
Who is she? She is my sister. 
¿De quién es el coche? Es su coche. 
Whose car is it? It is their car (or his/her/your car). 
Look at the chart below to see the possessive adjectives: 	

mi, mis - my	nuestro, nuestra - our
nuestros, nuestras	
tu, tus - your (informal)	vuestro, vuestra
vuestros, vuestras - your (informal and plural) 	
su, sus - his, her, your (formal), their 	su, sus - his, her, your (formal) plural, their 	

Here are some important reminders about possessive adjectives in Spanish:
•	The adjective agrees in number with the noun that it modifies, not with the subject. 
•	ejemplo: Juan tiene tres libros. Son sus libros. ( John has 3 books. They are his books. The word books is plural, therefore his [sus] needs to be plural also.)
•	The adjective also agrees in gender with the noun that it modifes. 
•	ejemplo: Nosotros tenemos tres libros. Son nuestros libros. (We have 3 books. They are our books. The Spanish word for books is masculine and plural, therefore our [nuestros] needs to be masculine and plural also.
