Lesson Content/Board Summary

Speech: Expressing Ownership

What is Ownership?

Ownership means having something or something belonging to you. When you own something, it is yours.

Words that Show Ownership (Possessive Pronouns)

We use special words to show who owns something. These words are called possessive pronouns. They help us say that something belongs to someone.

Examples of possessive pronouns include:

1. my (belongs to me)
2. mine (belongs to me)
3. his (belongs to a boy or man)
4. ours (belongs to us)
5. theirs (belongs to them)
6. yours (belongs to you)

Using Possessive Pronouns in Sentences

Here are some examples of how to use possessive pronouns:

1. This is my book.
2. The book is mine.
3. That is his pencil.
4. The pencil is his.
5. This is our classroom.
6. The classroom is ours.
7. Those are their bags.
8. The bags are theirs.
9. Is this your ruler?
10. The ruler is yours.

The pen is yours.” The teacher guides pupils to use these pronouns in sentences.

Step 6: Sentence Construction Practice

Time: 5 minutes

Teaching Skill: Individual Practice

Teacher’s Activity: The teacher shows flashcards with pictures of objects and asks pupils to make sentences expressing ownership using the learned possessive pronouns.
