POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES EXERCISE (ESOL) 1

level: Beginner (A1/A2)

For each of the following sentences, write the correct possessive adjective.
Example: This book belongs to me. This is my book.

Possessive adjectives in English show ownership or a relationship to something. They're used before a noun to indicate who owns or is connected to that noun.

Place the possessive adjective before a noun.

Examples:

My book is on the table.
Your phone is ringing.
His car is fast.
Her name is Sarah.
Its color is blue.
Our house is big.
Their dog is friendly.

A few tips:
Don't confuse its (possessive) with it's (short for it is).
Possessive adjectives always come before nouns — never stand alone.
For example:
✅ This is my jacket.
❌ This jacket is my.
