Everybody brought some pictures of their family yesterday. It was GREAT. Good job, boys and girls!

Every student showed us his or her photographs and said:

This is my cousin, his name is Pedro

or

This is my mother, her name is Yolanda.

So, have you noticed? When we talk about a boy or man we say his name.

When we talk about a girl or woman we say her name.

Some students, like Nuria, have a very large family: with uncles and aunts and many cousins.

Most students had not done their homework, so we did part of  it in class. We listened to a song several times and students answered some questions about the song.

The teacher explained how to say the possessive in English: how to say that something or somebody belongs to somebody. It's a bit difficult but not so much:

This is Bill's son.

Mary is James' sister.

Mary and James are Diana's children.

This is my father's car.

This is Ruben's pencil.

Remember: 1st, the name of the person ( or what we call that person, Ex: my brother, then the 's and then, something that belongs to that person: car, children, sister.
The order of the words is the opposite in the Spanish construction.

Spanish:  El hijo de Bill.
English:   Bill's son.

Then, things became complicated, because each one of us can be different things at the same time, like me:
A
I am Helen's mother
I am Sophie's sister.
I am Julian's aunt.

So, for the OlympicGames we made 2 teams, and students had to look at the pictures in a book and ask:

Who is Cindy?

The boy or girl in the other team had to answer:

Cindy is Nina's daughter or
Fred's granddaughter
etc.

Or they could ask for help from the Joker or their team.
