GESE Grade 2 Possessions: questions and sample answers
Possessions means the things you own. The examiner may ask what you have and which things are yours. Grade 2 asks you to use "mine", "yours", "his" and "hers". This page has 10 original practice questions and 3 short sample answers at CEFR A1, as of 10 November 2026. They are our own, not real test questions.
What the examiner wants at Grade 2
Grade 2 is CEFR A1 and has one phase, a conversation with the examiner of up to 6 minutes. Short answers are fine, and so are full sentences. The examiner listens for simple descriptions of people, animals, objects and places, and for you to say where things are. At least once you must ask the examiner a very simple question about personal details.
Useful grammar for this grade: the present simple, "there is" and "there are", "has got" and "have you got?", and place words such as "in", "on", "under", "between" and "next to".
Trinity's specification does not give a list of conversation subjects for Grade 2. It lists vocabulary areas instead, and the examiner builds the chat from them. We use those areas as our subjects. Source: Trinity specifications.

3 short sample answers
These answers are written at the level of the grade. Do not learn them by heart. Use them to see the size and shape of a good answer, then say your own.
Have you got a phone?
“Yes, I have. It is a small phone. It is black.”
What is in your bag?
“I have a book, a bottle of water and my keys.”
Is the blue bag yours?
“No, it is not mine. It is hers.”

Say each word aloud three times. Then use two or three of them in one sentence about your own life.

- Mixing "his" and "hers".
- Forgetting the colour or size. Add one detail.
Ask the examiner a question
Trinity says you must ask the examiner at least one question at Grade 2. Ask it when the talk feels easy and listen to the answer. A question for this subject: “What have you got in your bag?”
Practise this subject
Reading is not enough. Say your answers out loud, then listen to yourself.
- Practise the Grade 2 conversation with the AI examiner. It asks questions out loud and you answer out loud.

Will the examiner ask these questions at Grade 2?
No. These are our own practice questions. The examiner chooses their own, and you cannot know them in advance. Practise the type of question, not these words.
Is possessions a Trinity subject for Grade 2?
Trinity's specification lists rooms in the home, household objects, family and friends, pets, possessions, days, months and numbers as the vocabulary areas for Grade 2. It does not publish a subject list for this grade, so the examiner may bring in any of them.
Can I learn the sample answers by heart?
No. Trinity warns that learned answers stop you taking part in a real conversation. Use the samples for ideas, then answer in your own words about your own life.
