Here's how to pronounce a very important noun with an unusual plural!

True possessive pronouns can stand alone. They replace both the noun and its possessive adjective or determiner. These pronouns are very handy in introductions and conversations about favorites.

Sigrid takes us through the different persons using dependent possessive pronouns, also called possessive adjectives or possessive determiners. These little words are important when talking about names, your possessions, family and friends, characteristics, jobs, favorite things and just about everything else.

Sigrid talks about the difference between possessive nouns and other possessive words such as possessive determiners or articles like "my" and "your."

Sigrid reviews the object pronouns: "me," "you," "him," "her," "it," "us," "you," and "them."

Sigrid reviews the subject pronouns "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," "you," and "they."

Here's a quick summary of the different kinds of words we have in the English language and what they are used for.

Dates are usually expressed with ordinal numbers. Sometimes, though, what we write is different from what we say.

Ordinal numbers help us put things in order or in a sequence. Sigrid teaches us the suffixes we use to turn cardinal numbers into ordinal ones.

Sigrid explains what cardinal numbers are and gives us some writing and pronunciation tips.

Sigrid finishes the alphabet with "Z," covering words like "zone" and "zebra," but also the useful suffix "-ize."

"Y" is a tricky letter because it's both a consonant and a vowel. As a vowel, it has different sounds. Don't worry. But hey, maybe keep your eye on the "Y." Don't let it fly away.

"X" is a special letter in that we often use it by itself. It's useful in a lot of situations. In the middle of a word, however, it can be pronounced in a few different ways.

"W" is a consonant, but it is very vowel-like and is considered a "semi-vowel." "W" is featured in plenty of important words, and it combines with other letters to make some new sounds.

"V" is a voiced consonant. "Voice" starts with "V." We make the sound with the upper teeth lightly touching the lower lip, like "F" but with the voice, too. It vibrates. The verb "to vibrate" also starts with "V." That should make it easy to remember.
