Aprender a utilizar os possessivos em inglês é fundamental para se expressar com propriedade e clareza. Os possessivos indicam a quem algo pertence ou está relacionado, e no inglês, isso pode ser feito por meio de apostrofes ou pronomes possessivos. Por exemplo, para dizer que um livro pertence a Maria em inglês, diríamos “Maria’s book”. Este exercício de gramática tem como objetivo praticar o uso correto dos possessivos na língua inglesa.
