Possesive adjectives

The possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and whose. A possessive adjective sits before a noun (or a pronoun) to show who or what owns it.

A/An

Use “a” when the indefinite article comes before a word beginning with a consonant sound. Examples: a toy, a book, a house.

Use “an” when the indefinite article comes before a word beginning with a vowel sound. Examples: an operation, an idea, an apple.
