What are Possessive Pronouns?
Possessive pronouns tell us who owns something. They stand alone in a sentence and replace a noun and a possessive adjective. For example, instead of saying 'This is my book,' we can say 'This book is mine.' The word 'mine' shows ownership and doesn't need another word after it.
- Show ownership (belonging to someone).
- Stand alone in a sentence.
Meet the Possessive Pronouns
There are several possessive pronouns we use. Some common ones are 'mine,' 'yours,' 'his,' 'hers,' 'ours,' and 'theirs.' Each one matches a different person or group. For example, 'This apple is mine' means the apple belongs to me, and 'That bicycle is yours' means it belongs to you.
- Examples: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs.
- 'Its' is rarely used as a possessive pronoun.
Using Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns help us avoid repeating words. Instead of 'This is John's backpack,' you can say 'This backpack is his.' Or, instead of 'These are our pencils,' you can say 'These pencils are ours.' They make sentences shorter and easier to understand.
- Replace nouns to avoid repetition.
- They do not come before a noun.
