- Possessive Pronouns

What are possessive pronouns?

The words "mine, yours, his, hers, its , ours, theirs" are possessive pronouns. They show who or what something belongs to.

Examples

This is our house. It's ours.
This is my bedroom. It's mine.
This is my brother's bike. It's his.

- Possessive Adjectives

What are possessive adjectives?

Possessive adjectives - my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their - modify the noun following it in order to show possession.
Examples:

• I'll get my bag.
• Is this your luggage?

Possessive adjectives are often confused with possessive pronouns.
Examples:

• Your bike is blue. (your is an adjective which modifies bike)
• Mine is yellow. (mine is a pronoun which functions as the subject of the verb is)

Examples

• Why didn't you clean your room?
  (your modifies the noun room)
• Mary doesn't like her dress.
  (her modifies the noun dress)
• The chameleon can change its color.
  (its modifies the noun color)
