Summary/Abstract: Teaching Romanian grammar for international students it is known to be a real challenge. They have to cope with different rules compared to their native tongues, most of the time very different of Neo-Latin languages, to understand that the rules they have to learn do not help them in particular cases and to practise a lot to be able to face the requirements of the use of language. An important part, usually misunderstood also by the Romanian speakers, is represented by the possessive article which has to be used not only as a part of the ordinal numeral or of the possessive pronouns, but also of the nouns in genitive or of the syntactic structures. The aim of the paper is to present some teaching methods and exercises that are used within the Preparatory year to avoid regular or particular errors.
