POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE AND PRONOUN
A.
Illustration
This weekend, I am going to the
beach. I am not sure which car I should take. I could take my mother’s car, but I am not sure if hers is running properly. I think I will take my father’s car, because his
is new and is running well. I definitely cannot take mine, because I crashed it last week when it was driving too fast.
Possessive pronouns and adjectives are two different ways to
show possession in English.
1. Possessive
adjectives. These go
before the noun.
Example,
Ø My
cat is cute
Ø His phone
is ringing
Ø Our
teacher is angry
2.
Possessive
pronoun. These go after the noun
Example,
Ø The
cute dog is hers
Ø This
house is his
Ø Those
cars are mine
Here the lists of
Possessive adjectives and pronouns!

Note,
We use mine, yours, etc
without nouns.
Example,
Ø This is not my helmet.
That one is mine.
Ø Is that your motorcycle?
I thought yours was a Yamaha.
Ø His dog is bigger than mine.
We can use whose with or without nouns.
Example,
Ø Whose car is that?
Ø Whose is that car?
Ø Whose shoes are these?
Ø Whose book is this?
