Understanding Possessive Adjectives

Possessive adjectives are words used before nouns to show ownership or association. They modify nouns and answer the question: “Whose?”

List of Possessive Adjectives:

Examples:

• I have a book. → This is my book.

• She is reading a novel. → That is her novel.

• They own a house. → It is their house.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Confusing Possessive Adjectives with Possessive Pronouns:

  • Possessive Adjective: This is my pen.

  • Possessive Pronoun: This pen is mine.
