Possesive Adjectives Use

 I + verb – my + noun


 We use subject pronouns + verb and we use possessive adjectives + noun.
 These are Susan and Thomas; they are from Ohio. And
that’s their house. 
 I love my friend Sheila. 
 
Possessive adjectives are always singular
 
Adjectives in English have no plural form. Possessive adjectives are always
singular.
 These are their suitcases. (NOT theirs suitcases)
 
it/its for things and they/their for people and things
 
We use he-his and she-her for people, and we use it-its for things. But in plural,
we use they-their for people and things.
 The hotel has its own spa. It is a relaxing place. 
 I like those chairs, they are beautiful. But their legs are too long. 
 
it’s for time and weather
 
We use it’s (=it is) to talk about the time or the weather.
 It’s very windy today, but it’s sunny. 
 ‘What time is it?’ ‘It’s three o’clock.’
 
it’s or its?
 
Its = possessive adjective. It’s = it is (subject + verb be)
 Look at that dog. It’s beautiful. I like its hair.
