Level 5 = (Determiners) Possessive Adjectives and Pronouns

 

Possessive adjectives and pronouns are used to indicate possession or belonging.

Possessive Adjectives

Possessive adjectives are also known as possessive determiners. They always come before a noun. The noun is the thing that is being possessed. Possessive adjectives are "my", "your", "his", "her", "its", "our", or "their".

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns do not come before a noun. They replace nouns. They are used alone. Possessive pronouns are "mine", "yours", "his", "hers", "its", "ours", or "theirs". Do not use ('s) with possessive pronouns. "Its" as a possessive pronoun is rarely used.
