Oh my! Possessive adjectives
We use possessive adjectives to show that something belongs to or has a relationship to a person or thing.
| SUBJECT | POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE |
|---|---|

| He ♂ | his houses |
| She ♀ | her story |
| It | its colour |
| We | our table |

Always place the possessive adjective before the noun it refers to.
Their idea is brilliant.
Like other adjectives, possessive adjectives do not agree in gender or number with the word that follows them.

Note: to ask a question about possession, we use whose.
