3 POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES  Introduce nouns  Have 2 forms: stressed and unstressed

4 UNSTRESSED FORMS  Mi(s) = my  Tu(s) = your  Su(s) = his/her  Nuestro/a(s) = our  Su(s) = their  A NOUN follows the UNSTRESSED form of a possessive adjective (mi casa = my house; mis papeles = my papers

5 STRESSED FORM:  Mío/a(s) = OF mine  Tuyo/a(s) = OF yours  Suyo/a(s) = OF his/hers  Nuestro/a(s) = OF ours  Suyo/a(s) = OF theirs  STRESSED FORM of a possessive adjective is used AFTER the noun to reinforce the relationship (of mine, of yours…) and correspond to the noun  un amigo mío = a friend of mine;  una amiga suya = a friend of his/hers

6 STRESSED POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES & SER  Stressed possessive adjectives can be used alone after the verb SER  Omit article (el, la, los, las)  Omit noun (otherwise used with a possessive adjective)  El abrigo es mío. (No definite article because used with SER, noun omitted)  ¿Esa bufanda es suya? (No definite article because used with SER, noun omitted)

7 OJO  Possesive adjectives are used with nouns  Whether it be the stressed or unstressed form, it must agree in GENDER and NUMBER with the noun, NOT with the possessor.  Ejemplo:  Tus zapatos son negros.  Una amiga mía vive en California.
