Hi Alex,

Thanks for your lesson so much! You do a great job!

But I have a question: in the question number 4 “Whose MP3 player did you borrow?”, why the answer is “his” not “her, their or my”? I think all above choices are correct for this question. Could you please give me an explanation. Thank you in advance, Alex.

Muop,

muopmap

Hi Muopmap,

I’d like to answer to your Question.
In the Q.no.4 the answer is ‘his’ why because is, we need pronoun for this question. But her, their and my are adjectives which followed by something.
hope you understand

navin

Now, I got it. Thanks so much ^^, Navin!

muopmap

hi muopmap!! u r vietnamese!!! me too :P so Im gonna type in viet…
Subject là He, Adjective là His and then Pronoun là his also. ko có change như they –> their–> theirs
she–> her–> hers…. mà pronoun thường đứng cuối câu ko có kèm theo something… nên fải có ‘s’ : hers, yours, theirs… so in the Question number 4 only 1 the correct answer: his …. okay??? hope u get it!!!! :)

Great Job!!! Alex…Keep it up.

she

Hi Alex!
A very very helpful and comprehensible. I thought it difficult and complicated from grammar but you expressed the possession in English very easily. Thanks a lot.

engvideos

But sir,
Can you tell why their is no pronoun for the word ‘it’?

Thanks for your reply.

engvideos

Hi engvideos,
may I answer your question.Ususaly we mentioned non living being as ‘it’ (e.g. pen, book, chair etc.). So they can’t possess any thing with them.But we mentioned animals as ‘it’. so we could say ‘this bones belongs to it (DOG)’. But it not sounds good.

navin

Thanks Alex, it really remind me the bacis English class, very very important.

jonathan

Hi Alex this parts is very important for me ,but I don’t understant. Sorry for my english.

Whose MP3 player did you borrow?
His.
Her.
Their.
My.

Why “His”? I think “Her” and “Their” are right answers too.

muhamed92

to alexdobr if you back to video you will find that her ,their and my are adjective and also his but his used as adjective and pronoun so we used it but her in pronoun convert to hers so we can not used it i hope that answer is adequate

Thank u so much

Sultan

Thanks. Could you explain what is the differents between adjective and pronoun.

vanathi

Great Job !! I like your vidios very much :)

krakson

Being a non-native teacher of English with university education in linguistics, was quite surprised to learn that a posessive pronoun “my” all of a sudden turned out to be an ajective, and an absolute form of a posessive pronoun, “mine”, turned out to be just a pronoun. No offense, but you might like to check this out: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/american-english/my?q=my, and, in case that’s not enough, this might come in handy as well: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/my?rskey=9gMMxb&result=2. I see that teaching non-natives doesn’t require any i-depth research, but a simple dictionary check from time to time won’t hurt. Best regards and good luck with your next plunge into English grammar

Natalya

P.S. Sorry, got a bit carried away – “adjective”.

Hi Alex,

I gone through quiz and i have a question from the quiz/objective?

Hope you answer quickly!
Question # 1:
Whose watch is this?

And the Ans is it’s hers

Question # 2:

Whose jacket is that?
It’s her jacket.

Why the answer is not same for both the question. It’s hers instead of It’s her Jacket and also why not It’s her watch instead of It’s her.

Warm Regards,
Mohammed Shahith

Hi.
Why the answer of the quastion “Whose watch is this?” is “It’s hers watch.” ?

poory

I realized that the computer had mistaken! because I gave the exam again and this time the correct answer was “It’s hers!”
So in that case we cann’t trust the answers.

hi alex
when we use his and hem
and what is a deference .

m2aj

Hi Alex, your lessons are useful, but I have one question, why does it call “Possessive Adjective”? Subject Pronouns, Object and Possessive pronouns are OK. “Possessive Adjective” it is to sound a bit strange, isn’t it?
