Later in this section you will work in more detail on the grammar associated with the word "whose" and the possessive forms "my/mine," "your(s)," "our(s)," etc. Your task now is to make sure you understand the basic meaning of each possessive. Each of the the following phrases has occurred in our story. Review the text in this section to determine which English translation corresponds to the given possessive form.

Твой и́ли ваш?

You have hopefully noticed that there are two words for “your” (твой and ваш) that correspond to the two words for “you” (ты and вы). You will soon learn more about the different endings these possessives can take, but in the meantime you will work on choosing the correct word for the context. Remember that твой is used in contexts in which you are speaking informally to a single person, and that ваш is used when you are speaking to a single person formally or to more than one person.
