7o toda8 !5m gonna tal6 about a little e%pression that !5#e heard man8 times here in 9ngland. "icture this: 8ou
and 8our classmate &nd8 ha#e been paired up to do an assignment. 7o 8ou5re discussing 4here the t4o of
8ou should meet up to do the 4or6. 3e sa8s :7o should ! go to 8ours or do 8ou 4anna come to mine?:
&gain: :7hould ! go to 8ours or do 8ou 4anna come to mine?:. :;ours:, in that sentence, means :8our place:
or 8our house. :Mine:, in that same sentence, means :m8 house:, :m8 place:. !nstead of sa8ing :7hould ! go
to 8our place or do 8ou 4anna come to m8 place?:, 8our classmate sa8s :7hould ! go to 8ours or do 8ou
4anna come to mine?: "eople 6no4 4hat it means, ob#iousl8, because of 4hat5s been said before in the
con#ersation. ;ou5re discussing a place to meet.
7o thin6 of the man8 situations 8ou can use that. <hen 8ou5re out 4ith a friend, it5s the afternoon and 8ou
gu8s decide to 6ic6 bac6, rela% a little bit at home and 4atch a 1)1. <hose place are 8ou going to, though?
;our friend sa8s :7o are 4e going to 4atch the mo#ie at 8ours? 'r are 4e coming to mine?: <hat do 8ou
thin6? 1o 8ou agree that that5s easier to sa8 than :&re 4e going to 4atch the mo#ie at 8our house or are 4e
coming to m8 house?: !t is easier, right? :;ours, or mine?: !t5s clear 8ou5re tal6ing about :8our place, or m8
place:.
No4, it seems to me that most 9nglish learners are familiar enough 4ith :mine: and :8ours:. <hat ! don5t
hear #er8 often is theirs and ours. !f someone sa8s :7hould 4e go to theirs?:, that means :7hould 4e go to
their house?:. &nd let5s sa8 8ou repl8 :<h8 don5t 8ou come to ours?: - 4hich means :<h8 don5t 8ou come to
our place?:
!f Mar85s going to their house, she is going to theirs. !f 8ou are going to their house, 8ou5re going to theirs. !f
the meeting is at their house, all the participants are going to meet up at theirs. !f 8ou and 8our brother are
going to 4atch a mo#ie at their house, 8ou5re going to theirs.
Con#ersel8, if Mar85s coming to our house, she5s coming to ours. !f 8ou5re coming to our house, 8ou5re
coming to ours. !f the meeting is at our house, all the participants are meeting up at ours. !f 8ou and 8our
brother are going to 4atch a mo#ie at our house, 8ou gu8s are coming to ours.
7o can 8ou gi#e me a couple of e%amples, based on 8our e%perience? =et me 6no4 in the comments and
tal6 to 8ou ne%t time/
