My Chinese Beginner Lesson 2

Grammar:
  "的" ("de") is used after an adjectival, to show possessive. For example: "wǒ"   means "I". "wǒ de" means "my". Adding "de" at the end of a noun shows possessive.


“们” ("mén") is used after a pronoun to indicate the plural form. For example: "wǒ"   means "I" . "wǒ mén" means "we".
