Introduction

Hi everyone, my name is Giacomo Mederico, I’m an English Teacher at the Instituto Jean Piaget in Caracas, Venezuela. For today’s lesson I’m going to explain what the possessive and demonstrative adjectives are. I’ll explain the different types of adjectives and its uses and applications in English both in oral and written context.

Part 1: What are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe or gives qualities to the noun or a pronoun in the sentence. For example: the house is red. The word red is an adjective in this sentence.

They are always near the noun or pronoun they are describing.

Adjectives can be of many types, like: Possessive adjectives: My pencil is different than yours.

Demonstrative adjectives: This is a pencil

Descriptive adjectives: We all live the yellow submarine.

Quantitative adjectives: Some houses near my house were demolished.

Interrogative adjectives: Which skateboards are yours?

Numeric: I have two pair of shoes.

Part 2: What are Demonstrative Adjectives?

Demonstrative adjectives are adjectives that tell us where an object is located and how many objects there are.

Demonstrative adjectives are: This.

That.

These.

Those.

Part 3: How to use Demonstrative Adjectives First of all we must know how to use the demonstrative

adjectives.

As we’ve mentioned before, the demonstrative adjectives are this, that, these, those. This is used to locate one object that is near.

That is used to locate one object that is far from us.

These is used to locate objects that are near.

Those is used to locate objects that are far.

The possessive adjectives in English are adjectives that show to whom things belong or, in other words, they show possession.

The possessive adjectives are: My.

Yours.

His.

Her.

Our.

Their.

Its.

Part 5: How to use Possessive Adjectives

The possessive adjectives are my, yours, his, her, their, our and its. My is used to refer to objects that belongs to you.

His is used to refer to objects that belongs to someone who is male.

Her is used to refer to objects that belongs to someone who is female.

Their is used to refer to objects that belong to a group of people.

Our is used to refer to objects that belong to a group of people including you.
