Subject pronoun Possessive

I This is mine.

we This is ours.

you This is yours.

he This is his.

The highlighted words in the sentences also tell us that something belongs to someone.

These words are also called possessives. These possessives can stand alone.
They are not followed by a noun.

Let’s Play
Make two sets of cards. One set with pictures of animals or things. And one set

of cards with pictures of people, like a boy, a girl, a man, a woman, two people
or three people.

The teacher will raise one card from the first set. Then she will raise a card from
the other set.

Each group will say a sentence using possessives. For example, This is his
bicycle. This bicycle is his.
