Esp 1 - Repaso 3 - Odds and Ends

Hoy, tenemos un poco de gramática y un poco de cultura para repasar (review)

For the first few, we'll look at the possessives

Remember the possessives are:

mi/mis, tu/tus, su/sus

The possessives change between singular and plural based on the "possession", not the "owner"

In other words:

her brothers = sus hermanos

(plural "possession")

their sister = su hermana

(singular "possession")

Next, let's review the differences between the articles

DEFINITE articles = the
