    Possessive Pronouns

    ARMANDO DE LA VARA FLORES MI 5-1


    Definition:
    It is important to understand the use of the possessive adjective, to then understand the use
    of possessive pronouns.
    We use 1possessive adjectives before a noun. See the examples:
    ⮚ Is that your car?
    Your is the possessive adjective, and car is the singular noun.
    ⮚ Are these his keys?
    His is the possessive adjective, and keys the plural noun.
    ⮚ Is that her boyfriend?
    Her is the possessive adjective, and boyfriend is the singular
    noun.
    2
    But we use POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS as a substitute of
    the noun. See the examples:
    ⮚ Is that your car? No, it is not mine. Mine is red.
    ⮚ Are these Tom’s keys? Yes, I think they are his.
    ⮚ Is that her new boyfriend? No, I don’t think so. Hers is a much taller guy.
    ⮚ Is that our house over there? Yes, it is ours. It looks so pretty from far away.
    Subject Possessive adjective Possessive pronoun
    I my mine
    You your yours
    He his his
    She her hers
    It its its
    We our ours
    They Their Theirs
