Tips

Which Form Can Stand Alone?

  1. “Our team” identifica al poseedor. Como “our schedule” ya es recuperable, usa ours para reemplazar la frase nominal.
  2. Our necesita un sustantivo después; us es forma de objeto. Ours nunca lleva apóstrofo.
  3. Possessive determiner + noun: our schedule. Possessive pronoun replaces the noun phrase: The schedule is ours.
