Pronouns/Possessives

Aus ZUM-Unterrichten

Possessive zeigen an, wem etwas gehört. Das deutsche Wort dafür ist: besitzanzeigendes Fürwort oder Possessivpronomen. Im Englischen unterscheidet man zwischen possessive determiners, die vor einem Nomen stehen und possessive pronouns, die für ein Nomen stehen.
