Spanish speakers often make these mistakes:
- Using subject pronouns instead of possessive adjectives: In Spanish, you might say "Yo libro" (incorrect) or "mi libro." In English, always use the possessive adjective: I have my book. (NOT I have I book.)
- مربك his, her, its, ، و their with "su": In Spanish, "su" can mean his, her, its, ، أو their. In English, you must choose the correct one based on who owns the item. For example, He has his car. (NOT He has her car. if it's his car).
- مربك its و it's: Its is a possessive adjective. It shows possession (e.g., The dog wagged its tail.). It's is a contraction of it is أو it has (e.g., It's a beautiful day.).
