Possession in English
• In English we use the contraction “ ’s ” or “ s’ ”to express that someone possesses or owns an object.
ex: That is Jessica’s diamond ring.
• Occasionally we will express this idea in a longer form.
ex: Jessica is a friend of mine.

Possession in Spanish
• In Spanish there is NO CONTRACTION to express possession!
• You must not use “‘S ”to express ownership of an item!
• Instead you will use the word “de” and the name of the person or persons who own the item.

Possession in Spanish
• As we continue learning in Spanish class we will come to know all of the possessive adjectives in Spanish, but for now we will focus on two words that will help us express possession when talking about other people.
Su/ sus

Agreement with Possessive Adjectives
• The final thing you should know is that “su” does not depend on how many people own an item, but instead on whether what is owned is singular or plural.
• Examples: Their hat. Su sombrero.His chocolates. Sus chocolates.
• “It’s not who owns it, it’s what they own.”
