Key learning points
- Possessive adjectives are a type of determiner.
- Use 'mi' to say 'my' before a singular Spanish noun.
- Use 'tu' to say 'your' before a singular Spanish noun.
- Spanish possessives 'mi' and 'tu' do not change for the gender of the noun.
- When 'tú' has an accent, it is a subject pronoun and goes before the verb.
Keywords
Mi - possessive adjective meaning 'my'
Tu - possessive adjective meaning 'your'
Tú - subject pronoun meaning 'you'
Common misconception
'Tu' and 'tú' mean the same thing.
'Tu' is a possessive adjective used to say 'your' in Spanish. 'Tú' is a subject pronoun meaning 'you'.
During the activities in Learning Cycle 2, distinguising between tu and tú, using whiteboards to check the correct spelling of both words could be helpful to assess pupils' understanding and accuracy.
