Subject pronouns come before the verb, while object pronouns come after the verb for a simple explanation.
Possessive adjectives denote who something belongs to. You can practice this easily in class by holding up items that students have with them and asking who they belong to.
If your students know the difference but get confused, perhaps make a list to go up on the classroom wall for reference. As for remembering the words themselves, they just have to study them repeatedly until they stick.
We often use the following pattern in class:
I have a pen.
This is my pen.
This pen is mine.
You have a backpack.
That is your backpack.
That backpack is yours.
etc.

| Dear Marwashehab, (and Members who need it),
Please, send me a PM. with your EMAIL ADDRESS, and I will forward a Worksheet with a Chart which illustrates these points.
I MUST HAVE your EMAIL ADDRESS, so that I can send you the Worksheet as an ATTACHMENT.
(I tried to display this Worksheet on the Forum, but it was distorted).
I hope that the Worksheet helps you.
