- Possessive adjectives agree in terms of number with what is being possessed, not the owner.
- Nuestro and vuestro also must agree in gender with what is being possessed.
Ejemplos:
- mis computadoras / my computers
- su computadora / their computer (note that su is singular because it refers to one computer, even though there is more than one person doing the possessing)
- nuestro proyector / our projector
