But did you know that <em>su<\/em> <em>casa<\/em> could also be <em>tu casa<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possessive adjectives in Spanish aren\u2019t that hard, but it is necessary to do a bit of practice to make sure they roll off the tongue flawlessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Entonces, \u00a1a practicar, mis amigos!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possessive Adjectives Spanish Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we jump to the exercises on the worksheet, here\u2019s a quick list of Spanish possessive adjectives. We\u2019ll list the subject pronoun and possessive adjectives in Spanish first, with the English translation in parentheses behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Singular subject pronouns:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp; <strong>yo:<\/strong><strong> mi \/ mis<\/strong> (I: my)<\/li><li>&nbsp; <strong>t\u00fa:<\/strong><strong> tu \/ tus<\/strong> (you: your)<\/li><li>&nbsp; <strong>\u00e9l, ella, usted:<\/strong><strong> su \/ sus<\/strong> (he: his, she \/ her, formal you \/ your)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Plural subject pronouns:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp; <strong>nosotros:<\/strong><strong> nuestro \/ nuestros<\/strong> (we: our)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>o &nbsp; <strong>nosotras:<\/strong><strong> nuestra \/ nuestras<\/strong> (we: our)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp; <strong>ellos, ellas, ustedes:<\/strong><strong> su \/ sus<\/strong> (they: their, formal plural you: your)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you have probably noticed, the biggest difference between English and Spanish possessive adjectives is the fact that there are a singular and plural version in Spanish which has to agree with the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My car \u2013 <em>mi libro<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My cars \u2013 <em>mis libros<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our dog \u2013 <em>nuestra casa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our dogs \u2013 <em>nuestras casas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s right, we have omitted <em>vosotros<\/em> and its respective possessive adjectives because <em>vosotros<\/em> is really not regularly used anywhere in Latin America. What about <em>vos<\/em>, though? <em>Vos<\/em> is a colloquial pronoun equivalent to <em>tu<\/em>, and is used a very widely in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, and also in some countries in Central America. <em>Vos<\/em> does not have a separate possessive adjective, and just use what is used for <em>t\u00fa<\/em>: <em>tu<\/em> and <em>tus<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to put the above theory to the test!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possessive Adjectives Worksheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to learn how to use possessive adjectives in Spanish is by actually using them, and the three exercises we\u2019ve made for you were designed to test you in different ways.
