In Spanish, we have special words to talk about who owns things in the classroom. These words are called possessive adjectives. Here are the important ones you should know:

1. mi (my)
2. tu (your - talking to one person casually)
3. su (his/her/your - talking to one person formally)
4. nuestro/a (our - masculine/feminine)
5. vuestro/a (your - talking to a group casually, masculine/feminine)
6. su (their/your - talking to a group formally)

Common Classroom Objects

Let’s look at some everyday classroom items in Spanish:

• libro (book)
• lápiz (pencil)
• mesa (table)
• silla (chair)

Making Sentences

Now, let’s learn how to make sentences that show who owns something. Here are some examples:

1. mi libro (my book)

   • Example: Este es mi libro. (This is my book.)

2. tu lápiz (your pencil)

   • Example: ¿Dónde está tu lápiz? (Where is your pencil?)

3. su mesa (his/her/your table)

   • Example: La mesa es suya. (The table belongs to him/her/you.)

4. nuestra silla (our chair)

   • Example: Nuestra silla es cómoda. (Our chair is comfortable.)

5. vuestra mesa (your table)

   • Example: Vuestra mesa está en el aula. (Your table is in the classroom.)

6. su libro (their/your book)

   • Example: Su libro está en la mochila. (Their/Your book is in the backpack.)

Practice using these sentences to show ownership in different situations. You can swap out the nouns to match the objects you see around you in your classroom!
