• An important difference between Spanish and English is in the third
person. In English you have to choose between his, her, its, and
their, whereas in Spanish there is no distinction by gender, only by
number. Su and sus can each mean his, her, its, your, or their
depending on the context.
“Su cama” can mean his bed, her bed, its bed (e.g., the
dog's), your bed, or their bed.
