Grammar – 17: Pronouns
Possessive Pronouns (Part-5)
What are Possessive Pronouns?
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership or possession. Unlike possessive adjectives, they stand alone in a sentence without needing a noun after them.
Examples of Possessive Pronouns:
| Subject Pronoun | Possessive Pronoun |
|---|---|
| I | Mine |
| You | Yours |
| He | His |
| She | Hers |
| It | Its (rarely used) |
| We | Ours |
| They | Theirs |
Difference Between Possessive Adjectives & Possessive Pronouns
- Possessive Adjective: Modifies a noun (e.g., This is my book.)
- Possessive Pronoun: Replaces a noun (e.g., This book is mine.)
Examples in Sentences:
This house is mine, not yours.
The blue car is his, and the red one is hers.
We bought a new home, and now it’s ours.
