How it works

мой, твой, наш, ваш decline like adjectives. его, её, их never change — and must not be confused with personal-object forms.

Then open Forms, Notes, Exceptions, and Examples in that order.

When to use it

  • To mark ownership agreeing with the noun: моя книга, наши друзья
  • его / её / их before a noun for his / her / their
  • After prepositions when they decline: о моей работе, в нашем доме
  • Not for «I have» — prefer У меня есть…

Pro tip

If you can swap in «my/our» and need an ending, decline. If it’s his/her/their, freeze the form.
