In Lesson 6, we learned about self-introductions. Now, let’s explore how to ask about someone’s information (such as their name or occupation) in a conversation. In this lesson, we will study about possessive form.<\/span><\/p>\n

Possessive Form<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Possessive forms like “my ~”, “his ~”, “this ~”, “that ~” modify the noun that follows them. Unlike possessive forms in English (mine, ours, etc.), Vietnamese possessive form does not change based on singular or plural or gender, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Form:<\/b><\/p>\n

noun + c\u1ee7a<\/span> + pronoun<\/b><\/div>\n
\n

Examples:<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Asking About Someone<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

    When using possessive form to ask about someone’s information, you can use the following question structures. The question word changes based on what you are asking.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Structures:<\/b><\/h4>\n
    noun + c\u1ee7a<\/span> + pronoun + l\u00e0 g\u00ec\/khi n\u00e0o\/\u1edf \u0111\u00e2u\/nh\u01b0 th\u1ebf n\u00e0o?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
