Speak and talk: uses
The verbs speak and talk both generally mean ‘say words’, but there are some small differences in how they are used. Speak is more formal than talk.
Compare

Formal. It is possible that:

I need to  speak to 1. – the speaker does not know you very well.
you.
2. – this is in a formal setting, such as work.
3. – what the person has to say is important/serious.

Informal. It is possible that:

I need to  talk to you. 1. – the speaker is your friend.

2. – the speaker is someone you don’t know very well, but what they have to say is
informal.

We usually use speak for more formal presentations and lectures, and talk for more informal ones:
Dr Graham Foster will speak about the history of the region.
Kyle is going to talk us through the benefits of the software and then Liz will talk about the marketing plan.
When we refer to languages, we use speak:
How many languages do you speak?
Not: How many languages do you talk?
I wish I could speak Italian.
Not: … talk Italian.
Speak usually only focuses on the person who is producing the words:
He spoke about the importance of taking exercise and having a good diet.
Talk focuses on a speaker and at least one listener, and can mean ‘have a conversation’:
I hope I can meet you to talk about my plans for the company.
Not: I hope I can meet you to speak about my plans …

DIFERENCIA:
Un pronombre posesivo muestra propiedad, pero no viene antes de un sustantivo o en una frase nominal. Se queda
solo. También se puede usar para reemplazar un sustantivo. Un adjetivo posesivo es un adjetivo que se utiliza para
mostrar la propiedad.
