Let's practice German possessive pronouns with some exercises. While German possessive pronouns are not too difficult to learn, but they do require a
little memorization.
Before diving in, make sure you understand how German declension
works, since German pronouns - like all other German nouns - decline &
change their forms depending on their gender, number & role in the sentence.
But now let's dive into some exercises to practice German possessive pronouns.
Possessive Pronouns Quiz
Let's start off with a light quiz, to refresh our memory of possessive pronouns:
