possessives: adjectives
Can you match these possessive adjectives to the right personal pronouns?
its, your, my, their, our, her, his
| Subject | Object | Possessive |
|---|---|---|
| I | me | |
| You | you | |
| He | him | |
| She | her | |
| It | it | |
| We | us | |
| They | them |
We use possessive adjectives:
• to show something belongs to somebody:
That’s our house.
My car is very old.
• for relations and friends:
My mother is a doctor.
How old is your sister?
• for parts of the body:
He’s broken his arm.
She’s washing her hair.
I need to clean my teeth.

Hello,
Good point! I think the person writing that sentence probably forgot they were writing a question when they got to the end and put a colon instead to lead into the pronouns.
I've fixed it. Do tell us if you see any other problems on this site.
Best wishes,

I wish I aware earlier how important English is to my life.( not sure i wrote correctly)..
Somebody please help me to understand what is the difference between no and none, no and don't
such as : i don't need & i no need.
Thanks in advance.
Hello mydang!
In answer to your question, you are mixing 3 different ideas about no. 'No' is a word that we usually use on its own. You sometimes use none to answer questions about things ('Do you have any money?' 'None'). 'Don't' is used with verbs. We never use no before verbs, so I don't need it is good, but I no need is wrong. This page on negative verbs might help you!
Hope that helps!

Some words are used with one spelling as nouns and another spelling as verb,such as 'advice' and 'advise', 'practice' and 'practise'.Are there any other words like that? Kindly let me know if there are any.
