Omistamista ilmaisevat sanat, eli possessiivit, ovat tärkeä osa englannin kieliopin osaamista. Ne auttavat ilmaisemaan, kenelle jokin asia kuuluu tai on yhteydessä. Possessiivirakenteet vaihtelevat hieman suomen kielestä, joten niiden harjoittelu on tärkeää osata kommunikoida selkeästi englanniksi.
Tässä harjoituksessa keskitymme käyttämään englanninkielisiä possessiivipronomineja ja -adjektiiveja oikein lauseen yhteydessä. Tehtävänä on täyttää lauseeseen kuuluva possessiivi niin, että se sopii kontekstiin ja osoittaa oikean omistussuhteen. Harjoittelemalla näitä lauseita, kehität omistamista ilmaisevien sanojen käyttöäsi englannin kielessä.
