Here are some notes about the possessive pronouns in Portuguese:

1 - Possessive pronouns are generally used before the possessed thing.

2 - Remeber, the gender of the pronoun is the same as the possessed thing's, not the possessor's.

3 - If this possessed thing is in the plural form, the pronoun receives an -s.

4 - In Brazil, the second person pronouns are not used; the third person is used instead.

5 - Also in Brazil, the third person possessive pronouns are usually not in spoken language; the common form would be dele/deles/dela/delas.
