Spanish possessives before a noun
Mi, tu and su go before a noun. Add -s when the thing possessed is plural: mi libro, mis libros.
Su can mean his, her, its, their, or formal your. Clarify the owner with de Ana, de él or de usted when needed.

Nuestro and vuestro: gender and number
Nuestro and vuestro agree with the thing possessed, not the owner’s gender: nuestro padre, nuestra madre.
Vuestro goes with vosotros/vosotras, mainly in Spain. Ustedes uses su/sus. Review subject pronouns for the owner forms. These eight forms also work after nouns, so they are listed only once.
