Tips

Rewrite Without Repeating the Noun

  1. Primero identifica al poseedor; después reemplaza la frase nominal poseída con el possessive pronoun.
  2. Compara her locker → hers, our passes → ours y their schedule → theirs.
  3. La forma posesiva queda igual con una o varias cosas poseídas: his radio / his radios; the radio is his / the radios are his.
