🏠 Whose House Is That? — It's Ours!
A new unit: home! Today you will learn the parts of a house (bedroom, kitchen, balcony, yard…), say who owns things with possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) and possessive nouns (Rayan's room, my parents' room), and ask "Whose…?"

🙋 Possessive Adjectives And Pronouns
Possessive pronouns show who owns something. They replace a noun: "It's my bedroom." → "It's mine." Possessive adjectives are used in front of a noun.
Never put a noun after a possessive pronoun: "It's mine." ✅ — "It's mine bedroom." ❌. And there's no apostrophe in yours, hers, ours, theirs: "her's" ❌.
❓ Whose…?
- Use whose to ask who owns something.
- A: Whose beautiful yard is that? — B: It's ours.
- A: Whose bike is this? — B: It's Leo's. / It's his.
🎒 Whose Is It?
Look at the owner and choose the right possessive pronoun. 8 things!
✍️ Possessive Nouns
Possessive nouns also show ownership. They go in front of the thing they own, like a possessive adjective. Make a noun possessive by adding 's.
Rayan's bedroom is large. · This is my family's apartment.
My parents' bedroom has big windows. (just add ')
The children's bathroom is blue. (children, men, women + 's)
🛠️ The Apostrophe Workshop
Choose an owner and a room. Watch where the apostrophe goes!
Be careful: 's can also be the short form of is! "My family's apartment is large." = the apartment of my family. But "My family's large." = My family is large.
🔎 The 's Detector
Is the 's a possessive, or is it is? 8 sentences.
