How do you show possession in spanish in four different ways?

Question

I am taking Spanish two in homeschool and I need help expressing possession in four different ways in Spanish.

Please use the correct spelling and capitalization in your posts. - Issabela, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 1

That helps a little, except it has to be four different poossessions for each one of the problems I posted. I'm sorry for not punctuating the first two posts properly. I don't normally write correctly unless it's for my English school work. Thank you for telling me to punctuate everything correctly.

Thanks for understanding, Bumblebee. It's just that this is a learning site and we have to keep everything looking good for our English learners. - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

I understand I just didn't think about that before. - bumblebee, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 2

Maybe you mean this:

Mi casa es grande. (possessive adjective - short form)

Las reservaciones vuestras son a las ocho. (possessive adjective - long form)

Es la silla de él. (possession without a possessive adjective)

Tu coche es mejor que el mío. (possessive pronoun)

Answer 3

Oh, thank for your help. It was really appreciated and I hope it's enough to pass this test this time.

I'm sure you'll do fine. Good luck!! - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

Your question for whether I needed four tranlations or not, the question on my test is "Express possession in four different ways for each statement given." And with all the help I think I've got it but I'm not 100%. - bumblebee, OCT 26, 2009

You've got it. - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 4

Camisa, coche, trajo.

Perfect. Except the word for suit is "traje" and the plural is "sus trajes." - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 5

I can see you're really trying here, Bubblebee.

So here are your four ways:

1) Mi chaqueta (my jacket)

2) La _______de Pablo (Pablos's shirt)

3) Nuestro ________ (our car)

4) Sus __________ (your suits -- formal usted version).

Just fill in the blanks!!

Bumblebee - try reading this :-

Possessive Pronouns

Whoo-ooh!!!!! I managed to post a link!!!! - sheila-foster, OCT 26, 2009

whoo-hoo! There's no stopping you now *smile* - Izanoni1, OCT 26, 2009

Took me ages - the question had been answered long before I worked it out :) - sheila-foster, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 7

Since it calls for four tranlations would "la chaqueta de mi", "la chaqueta mia", and "la mia" be right for the other three?

Are you sure each one needs four translations? I thought you needed to show the four ways with your four sentences? - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

You have one way already with "mi chaqueta" Now you can show the other three ways with Pablo's shirt, our car, and your suits. I don't think you need four ways for each one. - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 8

Thank you.

Answer 9

Thank ya'll for the help. I think I've got it now.

Yippeee! Post your answers if you need us to proofread them. :-) - --Mariana--, OCT 26, 2009

Answer 10

Bumblebee said:

The only thing it keeps pulling up is "mi chaqueta".

You're right. That's a correct translation for "my jacket."

Answer 11

Here would be four different ways

to say that my parents house is blue:

1). La casa de mis padres es azul - My parent's house is blue

2). La casa suya es azul - Their house is blue

3). Su casa es azul. Their house is blue

4). La suya es azul. Theirs is blue

Answer 12

Here´s one for starters.

La camisa pertenece a Pablo.

Answer 13

The only thing it keeps pulling up is "mi chaqueta". Believe me I wouldn't be asking for help if I hadn't already tried. I've taken the test once and failed.

Answer 14

already answered

Answer 15

my jacket, Pablo's shirt, our car, and your suits.
