Bo día chicas e chicos:

Como sabedes, debido ao coronavirus, non podemos dar clase presencial. Porén, mantede a vosa rutina e horario de estudo porque á volta tendes que examinarvos igualmente, así que ide traballando nas actividades do Copybook que collíchedes en Jemaca e avanzade vendo as explicacións gramaticais e solucións ás actividades neste blogue. Utilizaremos este blogue (podedes escribir as vosas dúbidas ou comentarios como posts) e o meu correo electrónico (sabelateacher@gmail.com) como medio de comunicación.

For those of you who missed classes before the "Alarm Status", you need to do the all the activities from page 1. I leave you here the grammar tutorials and answers to the exercises.

Page 1: Possession: Saxon Genitive ('s)

Activity 1: Match the objects to their names.

Activity 2. Write messages as in the example. When you finish, scroll down to check the answers.

You can watch this explanation:

Activity 3. Answer the questions as in the example.

TIP: Because in the question they already mention "crayons", you don't have to repeat it: you can say "They're Molly's" or "They're Molly's crayons".

Activity 4. Check if the following sentences are True (T) or False (F). Correct the false ones as in the example. 

Page 3: POSSESSIVES

First, complete the 3 columns with the correct forms of "subject pronouns", "possessive adjectives" or "possessive pronouns".

Activity A. Circle the correct answer.

      *Remember:

Revise here the difference between Possessive Adjectives and Subject Pronouns:

And that's all about how to express possession. If you need more help with it, tell me and I send you more activities.
