Possessive Adjectives
Possessive adjectives are used in both Spanish and English to show possession of something by a person or persons.
Possessive adjectives are used before a noun to describe who the person, place or thing belongs to. In English our possessive adjectives are My (Mine), Your (Your's), His/Her's, Our's, Y'all's and Their's. In English we use apostrophes to help show the possession, but this technique is not used in Spanish.
Possessive Adjectives in Spanish can also be plural, depending on the amount of people, places or things that belong to the person.

Note: "Tu" and Tú can easily be confused, as they are very similar. "Tu" means "your" and "Tú" means "you" (informal).
