Grammar Topic 1: Possessive Pronouns

Subject Object Possessive adjective Possessive pronoun

I me my mine
you you your yours
he him his his
she her her hers
it it its -
we us our ours
they them their theirs

We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a full noun phrase to avoid repeating words:
A: Is that John's car?
B: No, it's mine. (NOT No, it's [my car].)
A: Whose coat is this?
B: Is it yours? (NOT Is it [your coat]?)
A: Her coat is grey.
B: Mine is brown. (NOT [My coat] is brown.)

5. Read and then complete a-d with a possessive pronoun.

a. I´m a musician. That guitar is ________.
b. Mary is always talking to somebody! I think that phone is ______.
c. Your sneakers are blue, not red. Are you sure these are _______?
d. It looks like Joe´s wallet, but I don´t think it´s ______. He´s traveling.

6. Find 6 possessives in the puzzle.

k y k f m v z v

Grammar Topic 2: also, too, either

Also
Also is used in positive sentences to add something which agrees with the previous item/clause.
Marco speaks Italian. Peter also speaks Italian.
I love Japanese food and I also like Indian cuisine.
Sarah is also coming to the station to see James off.

Also is placed before the main verb in a clause or sentence except with the verb be.
I have also seen that film.
I am also living in London at the moment.
Marco speaks Italian. Peter can also speak Italian.
Danny is really tired and I am also exhausted.
We were also at the concert.

Too
Too usually comes at the end of a sentence or clause.
I have seen the film too.
I am living in London too.
Peter can speak Italian too.
Danny is really tired and I am tired too.
We were at the concert too.
Too can sometimes be used with commas after the subject of the sentence although this is usually only done in formal
speech;
I, too, am tired of the incessant noise coming from the restaurants in the area.
Mr Rossi is pleased with the project. Mr Martin, too, expressed his satisfaction.

Either
Either is used in negative sentences to add an agreeing idea or thought.
I don't speak French and Sarah doesn't speak French either.
Peter is busy tonight and Danny can't come either.
So you didn't go to the concert. Well, we didn’t either. Was it good?

Either usually comes at the end of a sentence or clause.

I don't like sushi either.
I am not studying accounts either.
I am not coming either.

Look at these examples:

The weather was not at all nice. I also had to do some studying so I stayed in.
