As in English, possessive pronouns are different from possessive adjectives. Possessive adjectives are placed before a noun (the article is omitted then, like in English : my house - mi casa, his house - su casa, our house - nuestra casa).
Before a noun:
| person | English equivalent | singular masculine | singular feminine | plural masculine | plural feminine |
| singular | |||||
| 1 | my | mi | mi | mis | mis |
| 2 | your | tu | tu | tus | tus |
| 3 | his, her, its, your | su | su | sus | sus |
| plural | |||||
| 1 | our | nuestro | nuestra | nuestros | nuestras |
| 2 | your | vuestro | vuestra | vuestros | vuestras |
| 3 | their, your | su | su | sus | sus |
Possessive pronouns (used in other situations):
| person | English equivalent | singular masculine | singular feminine | plural masculine | plural feminine |
| singular | |||||
| 1 | mine | mío | mía | míos | mías |
| 2 | yours | tuyo | tuya | tuyos | tuyas |
| 3 | his, hers, yours | suyo | suya | suyos | suyas |
| plural | |||||
| 1 | ours | nuestro | nuestra | nuestros | nuestras |
| 2 | yours | vuestro | vuestra | vuestros | vuestras |
| 3 | theirs, yours | suyo | suya | suyos | suyas |
Most often an article is placed before these forms:
mi padre y el tuyo - my father and yours.
