Speaking tips

Grammar point — “name + ’s (Riya’s); Whose …?; mine, yours, his, hers”

  1. Add ’s to a name to show who owns it: Kabir’s cap, Meera’s umbrella.
  2. Ask “Whose … is this?” Answer with mine, yours, his or hers: “It’s mine.”
  3. Special plurals: one man, two men; one child, many children.

Use it for: Finding the owner of a lost thing, sharing in class, and talking about family members’ things.

Worked example: My pencil is red. Is this blue one ___? Yours

  1. Read the sentence and try each word in the gap: you, yours, your.
  2. No thing comes after the gap, so we say yours: Is this blue one yours?

Check: Point to three things and say whose they are: “This is mine. That is Papa’s.” ✓
