Possessive pronouns

Possessive Pronouns :mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs
These are used to describe possession and DO NOT confuse with possesive adjectives

my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their
Both refer to possession but the POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS do not need a noun after them.

For example:

Whose radio is that? (Whose = De quien)

It is mine. or It is my radio ---------- Incorrect > It is my. (My necesita de un NOUN)


Is that Pedro's or Sally's car?

It is hers. or It is her car ------------ Incorrect > It is her (Her necesita de un NOUN)

Possessive Pronous Vs Possessive Adjectives

Possessive Adjectives my your his her its our your their

NOUN car house pen

Possessive Pronouns mine yours his hers its ours yours theirs

NO NOUN

No se confundan con estas dos formas de mostrar una posesión. Los posesivos adjetivos REQUIEREN de un sustantivo. MY BOOK, HER PENCIL etc. Es decir: My = mi, her = su de ella, his = su de el etc...

Los posesivos ppronouns no necesitan de un sustantivo (NOUN) This is mine. Es decir : Mine = Mio, = Hers = suyo de ella, Ours = nuestro etc..

Hago lo posible para no traducir porque creo que es mejor y mas fácil aprender las reglas en ingles y de allí si ustedes quieren traducirlo siempre y cuando entiendan el fundamento.

Present Continuous for future plans or arrangements

The present continous is used as we duscussed for activities happening at the moment (CLICK AQUI si no sabes como formar oraciones con presente continuous).

This tense can also be used to describe events or plans in the future that are arranged or fixed.
Common expressions where we use present continuous for future arrangements are:

- tonight, next month (year,week) tomorrow, this weekend etc.

Examples:

My plane is arriving tonight at about 8:30 pm.
My parents are leaving town tomorrow.
Jack isn't meeting with us next weekend.

Remember: All these sentences can be used with "going to". We use present continuous to simplify the sentence but it is optional

My plane is arriving tonight at about 8:30 pm = My plane is going to arrive tonight at about 8:30.

There is no difference!

Questions

What are you doing later?
I am playing soccer.

Is your friend coming to eat with us in the afternoon?
Yes, he is.

NOTA: No quiero que se confundan con este uso del presente continuous. Es una opción en el ingles y es igual que el futuro con going to. Presente continuous solo se puede entender como un futuro si es que hay una frase especifica de un tiempo en el futuro (como tonight, tomorrow etc) Si es que no hay estas phrases se recomienda usar el going to para ser mas claros. Ustedes tienen esta opción de usar cual deseen pero es necesario saber que el presente continuous también puede ser usado como un futuro.
