In English, the possessive adjectives his, her, and their tell whether something belongs to a male, a female, or more than one person.
In Spanish, the possessive adjective su has many possible meanings (his, her, its, your, their). Context usually makes the meaning clear.

Agreement with Possessive Adjectives
The possessive adjective must be singular if the noun is singular and plural if the noun is plural.
While possessive adjectives refer to the owner, their form agrees in gender and number with the noun that comes after them.

(using an apostrophe)

Review ofDe + noun
This concept of showing possession is using “de + noun.”
For example:
![Page 16: The Fun and Exciting World of Possessive Adjectives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072005/56649cc55503460f9498e8a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
De + Noun
Tengo el cuaderno de Felipe.
La hermana de María es amable.

Su and sus can take the place of a phrase with de
+ person.
¿De dónde es la madre de Juan?
Su madre es de Puebla.
