    Possessive Adjectives VS Genitive Case

    Uploaded by

    Edwin Guillermo Ramirez Penagos
    The document discusses the differences between possessive adjectives and the genitive case in Spanish. It provides examples of possessive adjectives for different pronouns like "my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their" followed by the Spanish translations. It then explains the three main points about the genitive case: 1) It is formed by adding an apostrophe and "s" to show possession. 2) For animals or objects we use the preposition "of". 3) For plural nouns ending in "s", the apostrophe goes after the "s".
