I. Theory
German, like English, uses possessive adjectives which correspond to subject pronouns as a way of expressing ownership in similar ways. Examples of possessives in English are: my, his, her, their, etc. In English, these words are invariable - for example, we say “my friend,” “my friends,” “my friend’s mother.”In German, these pronouns take various forms based on the gender, number, and case of the noun they are describing.
