 POSSESIVE ADJECTIVES

Sirven para indicar a quién o a qué pertenece algo (my house, your phone) y
también para hablar de relaciones entre personas (my sister, your best friend). En
cuanto a its, sirve para indicar la pertenencia de algo a una cosa, lugar o animal.

OBJECT PRONOUNS

Siempre van después de un verbo o una preposición y, como dijimos en clase, puede
traducirse como “a mí/a él, etc”.

Tell me your answer (dime a mí tu respuesta)

Give him a pen (dale un boli a él)
-
PERO no siempre siempre es así, pues los object pronouns son palabras que se
utilizan para sustituir a un nombre y así evitar repeticiones (y no necesariamente
siempre se traduce por “a mí”). Por ejemplo:

This is a book. I like it a lot (en vez de repetir I like this book a lot). En este caso se
traduciría como ”Eso me gusta mucho”
My sister is a singer. Music is energy for her. En este caso se traduciría como ”La
música es energía para ella”
