Possessives

We can use possessives to say who things belong to.

I've got a pen. My pen is red.
We've got a car. Our car is fast.
She likes her teachers.

How to use them

To say who things belong to, we use:

I = my
you = your
he = his
she = her
it = its
we = our
they = their

Possessives go before the noun or the adjective.

Did you find your pen?
Her older brother doesn't like football.
My dog is sleeping in its new basket.

Hi WickedPaperWow,
I've checked the game and it works fine for me. 
Click/tap the words in the correct order.
If that doesn't work, perhaps you can try a different browser or ask an adult to help you.

Best wishes,
