Possessive Adjectives (Possessive adjektiver)

Hva er det?

Possessive adjektiver viser hvem som eier noe, eller hva noe er knyttet til.

De kommer foran et substantiv.

De engelske possessive adjektivene er:

Subjektpronomen Possessivt adjektiv Eksempel
I my my book
you your your phone
he his his car
she her her bag
it its its name
we our our house
they their their children

Eksempler:

  • This is my coat.
  • Her brother lives in London.
  • Their car is outside.

Når skal man bruke det

Bruk possessive adjektiver for å snakke om:

  • eierskap: This is my laptop.
  • familieforhold: Her mother is a teacher.
  • kroppsdeler: He hurt his arm.
  • personlige eiendeler: Where are your keys?
  • steder knyttet til noen: Our office is nearby.
  • dyr eller ting: The dog is eating its food.

Bruk et possessivt adjektiv foran substantivet det beskriver.

  • my friend
  • your address
  • his job
  • her name
  • our room
  • their house

Struktur

Grunnstrukturen er:

possessivt adjektiv + substantiv

Possessivt adjektiv Substantiv Eksempel
my name My name is Anna.
your bag Your bag is here.
his brother His brother is tall.
her phone Her phone is new.
its colour Its colour is blue.
our teacher Our teacher is friendly.
their house Their house is large.

Possessive adjektiver endres ikke for entall eller flertall av substantivet.

  • my book
  • my books
  • their child
  • their children

Velg det possessive adjektivet ut fra eieren, ikke tingen som eies.

  • Anna has a car. Her car is red.
  • Mark has a car. His car is red.
  • Anna and Mark have a car. Their car is red.

Ikke bruk en artikkel foran et possessivt adjektiv.

  • Riktig: my friend
  • Feil: the my friend

Eksempler

  1. My name is Daniel.
  2. Where is your passport?
  3. His sister works at a hospital.
  4. Her children are at school.
  5. The cat is washing its face.
  6. Our apartment is very small.
  7. Their parents live in Canada.
  8. I cannot find my keys.

Unntak

Its er et possessivt adjektiv.

  • The company changed its name.

It’s er kortformen av it is eller it has.

  • It’s cold today.
  • It’s been a long day.

Ikke bruk apostrof i det possessive adjektivet its.

Possessive adjektiver er forskjellige fra possessive pronomen.

Et possessivt adjektiv må etterfølges av et substantiv. Et possessivt pronomen erstatter substantivet.
