Pattern: “This is my …” (introductions + possession)

Introduce people and things using a natural ‘this is’ pattern.

The pattern

Memorize this as a chunk. Then swap one word at a time.

  • Swap the noun: friend → name → phone → ticket.
  • Notice how possession works (my/your). In many languages it changes endings or word order.
Este es mi amigo.
This is my friend.
