Grammar tutorial – How to use Possessives

In this English English lesson you will learn how to use possessives in English.

We use possessives to show that:

• something belongs to somebody, 
• to talk about relations and friends, 
• and for parts of the body. 

Something belongs to somebody

This is my room. That is your room.

This is her car. This is his car.

To talk about friends and relations

They have a good relationship with their father.

How old is your brother?

Parts of the body and clothes

I washed my hair last night.

Please clean your teeth before bed.
