I can use possessive adjectives in questions and answers to talk and write about my friends and family.

Show transcript
[ei] is pronounced as in 'frei', like English 'eye'. [ie] is pronounced as in 'Liebe', like English 'ee'. Possessive adjectives show who possesses something: ‘mein’ (my), ‘dein’ (your), ‘ihr’ (her), ‘sein’ (his). Possessive adjectives agree with the noun they are describing, i.e., they need to be the same gender. Form closed questions by inverting the subject and verb in a statement. Add a question word before for an open question. Add the prefix 'Lieblings-' to a noun to mean 'favourite'; for example, ‘mein Lieblingsobst’.
