Possesive forms

In year 1 you learned about possesive pronouns (bezittelijke voornaamwoorden).  

Their place in the sentence is before the noun (Z.nw)4

examples:

Ginny forgot her homework yesterday.

I need to go home and feed my cat.

Where do the Johnsons live? That's their house over there. 

mine    - die van mij

yours   - die van jou

his        - die van hem

hers     - die van haar

yours   - die van jullie

ours     - die van ons

theirs  - die van hen 

The possesive pronouns on the left are used after the verb (w.w). 

They are usually the last word in a sentence.

examples

That pen you are using is mine!

I forgot my calculator. Can I use yours?

I needed a car so my sister lend me hers. 

of mine  - van mij

of yours  - van jouw

of his       - van hem

of hers    - van haar

of yours  - van jullie

of ours    - van ons

of theirs  - van hen

You can use these same words after a noun but then you need to put the word of before them.

examples

Have you met Colin? He's a friend of mine. 

Mandy is a cousin of ours. 

I'm staying in an apartment of his.
