In German, possessive adjectives such as mein (my), dein (your), and ihr (her) are used to describe a noun and must agree with it in gender, number, and case. They help indicate ownership directly linked to a noun within a sentence.
On this page, we've collected a few exercises for you to practice forming possessive adjectives.
Exercise 1: German Possessive Adjectives
A first round to practise the basic forms — mein, dein, sein, ihr, unser. Watch the ending: it changes with the gender, number, and case of the noun, just like ein would.
Exercise 2: German Possessive Adjectives
More practice across all subjects, including the polite Ihr (always capitalised). Pay attention to whether the noun is the subject (nominative) or the object (accusative) — the ending shifts accordingly.
