Explanation

Mi/tu/su have just singular and plural: su empresa, sus empresas — the form never reveals the owner's gender or number, so su is ambiguous (his/her/your/their); clarify with de él, de ella, de ustedes when needed.

Nuestro/a/os/as and (Spain) vuestro/a/os/as agree fully: nuestros clientes, vuestra ciudad. Remember the body-parts rule: article, not possessive, with reflexives (me lavo las manos).

Examples

Su oficina está en el quinto piso.
His/her/your office is on the fifth floor.
