On lesson 23, the future tense post) you wrote the sentence, Machin sa pral pa w. Why the pa, if its not a negative sentence? (THE CAR WILL BE YOURS)

In that case I was talking about the possessive pronouns:

If you were using the following possessive pronouns and you needed to make a negative sentence, you would have to use yet another "pa" in your sentence. See examples below. Hope this helps.

The followings are possessive pronouns

pa mwen (pa m) → mine

pa ou (pa w) → yours

pa li (pa l) → his, hers

pa nou (pa n) → ours

pa yo → theirs

Examples:

Sa se pa m. - This mine.

Manje sa se pa w. - this food is yours.

Liv sa se pa li. - The book is his.

Kay la se pa nou. - The house is ours.

Magazen an se pa yo. - The store is theirs.

Kote pa m? - Where is mine?

Using negative sentences

Manje sa se pa pa w. - This food is not yours

Liv sa se pa pa m. - This book is not mine.
