Spanish phrases that use Possessive Adjectives
This lesson complements our previous lesson (Lesson 23: Spanish Possessive Pronouns). So, if you still haven’t I strongly recommend that you watch that one first.
Since I assume that you have already watched Lesson 23, I wont explain Possessive Adjectives and Possessive pronouns again. Instead, I will focus more on showing you a few simple Spanish phrases using the Spanish Possessive Adjectives that we have learnt in our previous lesson:
- Mi camisa blanca – My white shirt
- Mi camisa es blanca – My shirt is white
- Tu auto nuevo – Your new car
- Tu auto es nuevo – Your car is new
- Su casa grande – His/her/its/your (formal) big house
- Su casa es grande – His/her/its/your (formal) house is big
- Nuestros pantalones cortos – Our short trousers (shorts)

(“Vosotros” is the subject pronouns that is used in Spain for “you” plural. “Vuestro” is its corresponding possessive adjective)
