    Dear James,

    Thanks for 1 email. It was very nice to have news from 2 . I was very happy to hear that you are finally getting married to Maria. It's perfect! I think you will make 3 very happy and 4 will make you very happy, too.

    How did your parents react when you gave 5 the news? Aren't 6 excited? I'm sure they are really happy. I'm really looking forward to seeing you all at the wedding.

    By the way, do you remember that I wanted a tortoise? I already have one. 7 name is Green. Sara and I saw 8 in a pet shop and 9 decided to buy the little thing right away. We are so happy with 10 new pet!

    Well, I hope to see you soon, James. Please call me if you need any help.

    Love,

    Samuel.

    • She doesn’t like him.
    • I saw her in town today.

    • Give it to him.
    • Why are you looking at her?
    • Don’t take it from us.
    • I’ll speak to them

    Possessive adjectives

    Before a noun

    We use possessive adjectives before a noun because they modify a noun.

    • My dog is big.
    • Her cat is brown.
    • Their sister works downtown.

    Possessive pronouns

    Without a noun

    possessive pronoun is NOT followed by a noun.

    • The dog is mine.
    • The brown cat is hers.
    • The car is ours.

    Whose

    We use whose to ask about possession.

    • Whose car is that?
    • Whose is that car?
  • We are working on this!
