Possessive adjectives (possessive determiners) and pronouns are used to

show that something or someone belongs to a person.
The possessive adjective is used with a noun.
The possessive pronoun is used without a noun.
The possessive pronoun replaces a possessive adjective + noun.
 We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a full noun phrase to avoid
repeating words:

✓ Is that John's car?

No, it's mine. (NOT No, it's [my car].)
✓ Whose coat is this?
Is it yours? (NOT Is it [your coat]?)
✓ Her coat is grey.
Mine is brown. (NOT [My coat] is brown.)

Whose
-Whose is a possessive pronoun.
-We use whose to find out which person
something belongs to.
* Whose car is this?
* Whose notebook was stolen in the class?
* The child whose bicycle has been lost cried.
* The girl whose bag is red is looking for you.
 ❖ Present continuous statements; conjunctions

We use the present continuous to talk about actions that are happening now.
Structure positive statements:

Subject + be + verb + -ing

Structure for negative present continuous statements:

Subject + be + not + verb + ing

 Structure for present continuous yes/no questions:
Be + subject + -ing?

He seems happy at the moment. He's seeming happy at the moment.

✓ We use the conjunction but to join two contrasting sentences.

I eat cake, but I never eat biscuits; I don’t like them.

✓ We use so to indicate that we are adding a consequence or result.
