Possessive determiner: my / your / his / her / its / our / their
EXAMPLES:

father is a teacher.
The possessive determiner comes before a noun.
We use the same words for singular and plural nouns. EX:

2
EXAMPLES: George
's
brother is here. The cat
's

'
area is on fire!
We use
's
after a singular noun and
'
after a regular plural noun. EX: The girl
's
room is pink (one girl). The girls
'
room is pink (+ one girl).
If there's more than one subject, we put the
's
on the last name. EX: Paula and Danilo
's
faculty. :check: Paula's and Danilo's faculty. :red_cross:
The big city's buildings are beautiful.
