The -IVE Letter Pattern

The -ive letter pattern can make two different sounds as shown in these two lists of words: 


	give		five
	motive		alive
	live		drive
			live
It's worth mentioning that "live" is on both lists since it can be pronounced either way as we see in these two sentences: 

  They live in Nevada.

  We used live worms as fishing bait.
Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns can be used to show that something belongs to someone or something. Here are some possessive pronouns: 


	her 	his	their	my	our	its	your
You should remember that it's and its are two different words. Recall this example: 

    It's famous for its potatoes.
