Notes注释

1 Remember the possessive adjective mine / mine, e.g. Mine was the opposite / Mine was the opposite (my weekend was the opposite).

记住形容词的所有格形式mine /我的。例如Mine was the opposite /我的刚好相反(我的周末和你的相反)。

2 Also, the possessive adjective yours / yours, e.g.: What was yours like? / What was yours like? (What was your weekend like?). We usually use possessive adjectives, like mine / mine and yours / yours and his / his and hers / hers, when the people speaking know what they are referring to and it is understood by both.

也请记住形容词所有格yours /你的。例如：What was yours like? /你的怎么样？(你的周末是怎么过的？)当谈话中的人们知道他们在指什么，双方都不言自明时通常用形容词的所有格，像mine / 我的和 yours / 你的和 his / 他的和hers /她的。
