Practice: Possessives

Use ons before het-words. Use onze before de-words and all plurals. When in doubt, check the article of the noun.

Both mean "your" (informal). Use jouw when emphasising ownership. Use je in normal speech. When jij/je follows the verb (inversion), always use jouw.

"Ze/zij" is the subject pronoun (she/they). "Haar" and "hun" are the possessives (her / their). A very common mistake is using "ze" where a possessive is needed.
