Learning

🧩 The 'Ownership' Pattern

In the text, we see how to talk about who owns what or who belongs where. This is a key A2 skill.

1. Singular (One person)

  • His name is Mansoor. → (The name belongs to him)

2. Plural (More than one person)

  • Their names are Jaylen and Trent. → (The names belong to them)

3. Group Ownership

  • The team's defense. → (The defense of the team)

💡 Quick Rule: Use His/Her for one person. Use Their for a group. Add 's to a name to show it is theirs.
