Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns take the place of nouns and denote ownership. They have similar forms as possessive adjectives but are commonly used with a definite article. The article is generally omitted if the possessive pronoun is preceded by the verb “ser”. The gender and number of a possessive pronoun must agree with the noun it replaces.

Possessive Pronouns:

mine el mío, la mía los míos, las mías

yours (familiar) el tuyo, la tuya los tuyos, las tuyas

yours (formal), his, hers el suyo, la suya los suyos, las suyas

ours el nuestro, la nuestra los nuestros, las nuestras

yours (familiar) el vuestro, la vuestra los vuestros, las vuestras

yours (formal), theirs el suyo, la suya los suyos, las suyas

In addition, the series of adjectives can be placed before the noun, after the noun, or split into different parts.

Los niños jugaban con pelotas grandes, suaves y azul.
The children played with big, soft, and blue balls.

Multiple adjectives can be placed before a noun to stress essential qualities or emphasize characteristics:

Ella era un valiente y fuerte mujer. She is a brave and strong woman.

Two or more adjectives can be placed after a noun to clarify, restrict, or narrow the noun:

Él era un muchacho fuerte y activo. He was a strong and active boy.

It is also possible to split multiple adjectives by placing the subjective adjectives before the noun and the objective adjectives after it.

Michael Phelps es un fantástico nadador estadounidense.
Michael Phelps is a fantastic American swimmer.
