Patrick’s Possessions

Patrick’s Possessions.

This is Patrick. He’s a close friend of mine. Patrick is really rich. Patrick likes to listen to music; that CD is his. I let Patrick borrow a pair of sunglasses – they are mine but they look better on Patrick. That car is Patrick’s family’s car. If your car is broken, maybe you could drive theirs. Everyone’s phone is useful, but his is the best.
