Possessives: setninger, øvelser, tester og eksempler

Possessives: my vs mine bruker

Possessiver hjelper oss å si hvem noe tilhører. Dette emnet sammenligner to lignende grupper: possessive determinativer foran et substantiv og possessive pronomen, som erstatter hele substantivfrasen.

This is my phone.
Dette er telefonen min.
This phone is mine.
Denne telefonen er min.
Is it your bag? Is it yours?
Er det vesken din? Er den din?
Her book is old. Hers is old.
Boken hennes er gammel. Hennes er gammel.

Possessives: my vs mine Form

En possessiv determinativ kommer alltid foran et substantiv: bilen min, huset deres. Et possessivt pronomen står alene og erstatter determinativ + substantiv: min = bilen min, deres = huset deres.

Personlig pronomen Før et substantiv Uten et substantiv Eksempel

you your yours Is this your charger? / Is it yours?
he his his It is his phone. / It is his.
she her hers It is her book. / It is hers.
it its — The dog has its bowl. / The dog has its own bowl.
we our ours It is our camera. / It is ours.
they their theirs It is their house. / It is theirs.

my phone → mine
your bag → yours
her book → hers
their house → theirs

Possessives: my vs mine Regel

  • Bruk possessive determinativer foran et substantiv for å vise hvem noe tilhører.

    possessive determiner + noun

    This is my phone.
    Dette er telefonen min.
    He is in his room.
    Han er på rommet sitt.
    Children brushed their teeth and went to bed.
    Barna pusset tennene og gikk til sengs.
  • Ikke bruk a / an / the foran en possessiv bestemmelsesord. Det possessive bestemmelsesordet identifiserer allerede substantivet.
    ✅ Is this your hat?
    ❌ Is this the your hat?
  • Bruk possessive pronomen når substantivet allerede er tydelig, og du ikke trenger å gjenta det.

    possessive determiner + noun → possessive pronoun

    My charger is black. Mine is black.
    Laderen min er svart. Min er svart.
    Her book is old. Hers is old.
    Boken hennes er gammel. Hennes er gammel.
    I cannot find their house. I cannot find theirs.
    Jeg finner ikke huset deres. Jeg finner ikke deres.
  • Hans har samme form: telefonen hans og telefonen er hans. Men hennes og hennes er forskjellige: telefonen hennes, men telefonen er hennes.
    Is this his jacket? Yes, it is his.
    Er dette jakken hans? Ja, den er hans.
    Is this her jacket? Yes, it is hers.
    Er dette jakken hennes? Ja, den er hennes.
  • Bruk dets om én ting, organisasjon, sted eller ett dyr når du ikke legger vekt på dyrets kjønn. Bruk deres om flere personer eller ting.

    Holland er berømt for sine tulipaner.
    I have two dogs. Their names are Phil and Bard.
    Jeg har to hunder. De heter Phil og Bard.
  • Its og it's er forskjellige. Its betyr eierskap for en ting eller et dyr. It's = it is eller it has.
    ✅ The company has its own gym.
    ✅ It's a good company. (= it is)
  • Possessive pronomen bruker ikke apostrof: ditt, vårt, deres. Former som ditt's, vårt's og deres's er feil.
    ✅ This bag is yours.
    ❌ This bag is your's.
  • Etter et possessivt determinativ kan substantivet være entall, flertall eller utellelig.

    Skoene mine er våte.
