 THE PoSSESSIvES.
 40.-The possessive words serve as adjectives and pronouns, but are com monly called the possessive pronouns. The separate uses need, however to be earthly distinguished. Whether the possessive word be an adjective or A pronoun. it agrees in gender and num- Der. not with the possessor. but with. the thing possessed.
 THE POSSESSIVE ADJECTIvES.
 H.-As adjectives the possessives may be considered as conjunctive or disjunctive. according as they precede or follow the limited noun!s The con- junctives are shorter and do not vary from gender except nuestro, our, and vuestro. your. The following table of the possessive adjectives will be useful: SINGULAR. -.t Conjunctive, masculine and feminine my. mi; thy. tu; his, her, it's, your,
 Cur, nuestro,-a; your. vuestro, "a; their. your su, su.
 Distinctive, masculine, my, mic; thy. tuyo; his, her its, your, supo; our | nuestro; your. vuestro: their, your, suyo. Feminine, my, mia; thy, tuya; his. her. it's, your suya: our, nuestra; i; | your. Vuestra; their, your. suya. PLURAL. Conjunctive. masculine and feminine, my, mis; thy, tus; his, her, it's, your. sus; our, nuestros, as; your, vuestros, ,- | as; their, yoru, sus. sus. Distinctive masculine, my, mios; | thy, tuyos; his, her, its, your, suyos; | our. nuestros; your. vuestros; their, your, suyos; feminine, my, mias: thy, | tuyas; his. her, it's. your, suyas; our, nuestras; your. vuestras; their, your. suyas.
 42.-The conjunctive possessive adjec- | tives are not emphatic. Certain forms | (su, sus, etc) are ambiguous, as the above table shows. Emphasis may be secured by using propio, own. aftep the possessive. Ambiguity is avoided by adding the proposition de, or. and tho disjunctive personal pronoun corre- spending to the possesSive word. The latter device is often varied by substi- tuting the definite article for the pos sessive adjective. Observe the exam pies classified below:
 Unemphatic or ambiguous-My pad re, my father; nuestro libro, our book; SuS trdDaJoS. tnelF trlalS' Su tlo, hlS (her) uncle.
 Emphatic or in direct address-Pad- re mic. father: nuestro eproPiO libro, our own book; sus traba jos de ellos, de elias: los trabaJos de eflos. de elias, their trials; su tio de el (de eIla), his (her) uncle; sut tio de ", el tio de ". your uncle.
 43.-Possession is denied, often by means of the definite article, when the connection plainly shows the posses sor. Fl soldado recibiol un golpe en el brazo. the soldier received a wound in his arm; clio levantol los ojos, she raised her eyes; bajol la cabeZa, he bowed his head.
 A.-Possession is denoted in another way not employed in English. It re- quires with the verb as indirect object the possessor, usually represented by a pronoun; and the definite article is required with the thing possessed This is sometimes personal, as a part of the body, an article of clothing, equipment, mental trait, etc. Exam pIes: Beso a V. la mano, l kiss your hand; le tomo la mano. he took his Cor her) hand; SC heria el pecho, he was smiting his (own) breast; me duelo la cabeza. my head aches.
 THE POSSESSIV EPRONOUNS. 45.-The posessive pronoun is regu- larly preceded by the definite article, both agreeing with the thing possess ed; Su padre des V. y el moi, your father and mine; mic amigos los
