  3. Exercise: Possessive adjective or pronoun?

Fill in the missing words.

 

Recap: In German there are 8 main possessive adjectives : mein, dein, sein, ihr, sein, unser, euer and ihr. They need to be conjugated in dependence of the number, gender and case of the noun.

 

The possessive adjective you need to transform always is in brackets behind the free space. Decline and then write the correct word in the free space like in the example.

Example: Das ist meine (mein) Tasse. (This is my cup.)

1. Bitte gib mir (mein) Regenschirm zurück. (Give me my umbrella back, please.)

2. Was hast du mit (mein) Notizbuch gemacht? (What did you do with my notebook?)

3. Sie freut sich über den Erfolg (ihr) Bruders. (She is happy about the success of her brother.)

4. Er weiß nicht wie spät es ist, weil er (sein) Uhr nicht finden kann. (He doesn't know what time it is, because he can't find his watch.)

5. Anne hat einen Hund. (ihr) Hund ist ziemlich klein. (Anne has a dog. Her dog is very small.)

6. Meine Schwester und ich gehen zu (unser) Oma. (My sister and I are going to our grandmother.)

7. Ich komme aus Deuschland und die meisten (mein) Freunde kommen auch aus Deutschland. (I'm from Germany and most of my friends are from Germany, too.)

8. Wie heißt der Junge? (sein) Name ist Ben. (What's the name of this boy? His name is Ben.)

Hi! I am Maaike, a Dutch primary school teacher. Every day I'm doing by best to teach the Dutch language well to the childeren, but also other languages ​​such as English and Spanish.
I have more than 12 years of experience as a teacher, in the Netherlands and abroad, to young and old!
In the Netherlands I have experience in each grade, so I know exactly how the Dutch language is given in primary education. This can certainly help children, but also adults who want to learn the Dutch language in a correct way, having a good basic knowledge is the most important part of learning a new language.
I lived in Spain for 3 years where I taught English to Spanish children and adults. During that period I also followed an intensive language course to learn the Spanish language. Currently I am learning Nepali through Skype. I know what it is like to learn a new language, what it involves and how the learning process works.
I will first discuss with you what you would like to achieve by following the language lessons and what your needs are. Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :)
My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal!
Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :)

My interest in learning foreign languages has arisen since I was a young girl. At 13 I made up my mind to attend the foreign language high school where I graduaded with proficiency. After a few years I got my University degree.

I have been teaching for a few years privately via Skype Italian mainly to German adult students. My method is based to consolidate the grammar knowledge if previuosly done or to base it by catching their attention on interesting topics. I provide my students all material needed to plan a valuable lesson and for this reason I have gathered fulfilling reviews on other teaching platforms

About Italian students studying German with me, most of them are interested in deeping topics dealt at school or being prepared to get a certification.

I look forward to hearing from you

The best way to learn a new language is through natural interaction. And I believe that you learn most effectively when you feel at ease and when you are having fun!

You will see that each class is individually adapted to your personal learning style and that you can improve at your optimal level because you will always be challenged but never overwhelmed.

I am an enthusiastic language learner myself and know the importance of a fun and knowledgeable teacher. Because I enjoyed learning with great teachers so much, I'm committed to being that for you in every class as well.

With this German class, you will get
• a very competent, patient, and fun tutor with years of experience
• a very supportive environment
• as many opportunities as possible to actually speak German, reflect on it, and improve
• efficient tools and homework
• heaps of video material as well as many exercises to help you practice all aspects of the German language
• and you will see how manageable the German grammar actually is!

Of course, you can adjust the classes to whatever you consider to be most relevant for you!

If you like my approach and want to improve your German, write me a message or book a lesson with me! I would love to help you with your German

You can start right away at any level!

I am professionally certified by the Goethe Institut with the highest mark possible. Through all these years of teaching in different formats and different countries, I have collected a huge amount of experience, and feedback and improved my lessons. I never stop learning and adapting my teaching methods to nowadays strategies and advanced thinking
