Recall that  the words that  describe a noun  or  pronoun  are called adjectives. The  type  of adjective that  describes
                 relationships or properties is called possessive adjectives. Possessive adjectives can be used to indicate the relationship
                 between things and their owners.
                 Examples:
                 •  My skirt is blue.
                 •  Her cat drank the milk.
                 •  Mr. Verma’s car broke down.

                 Observe these lines as Sonali talks about her family. Notice the relation words that have been underlined.
                 My name is Sonali. I have a large family. My mother is a banker. My father works in an IT company. My elder sister’s name
                 is Sonal and my younger brother’s name is Aryan. I have two aunts and one uncle. Our grandparents stay in Mumbai. I love
                 visiting them during the holidays. They have a dog named Bob.


                        Habits and Routines

                 Habits are the practices we follow, especially those that are very difficult to break or give up. For example, if you use the
                 same road to travel to the office every day, then it is your habit.
                 A routine is a regular and orderly way to perform an activity at a set time. There are several phrases you can use to
                 describe your routine. Some words like daily, normal (or general), always, sometimes, never, etc. can be used to describe
                 our habits and routines.
