1. Study the theory block

Using possessive pronouns

Possessive pronouns can look very similar at first glance to adjectives – but they have a different meaning, and are used in a different way!

While they also show ownership, they can be used in place of a noun, to avoid repeating it in a sentence.

“These are not your keys, they are mine”

“-Is it his car? -No, it’s hers”

Some common possessive pronouns that you might come across include, “mine”, “yours” “his”, “hers”, and “ours”.

As you can see, these look almost the same as the possessive adjectives – with only an extra letter at the end! So how are they used differently?

Possessive pronouns are used after the noun, unlike adjectives – and they cannot be used before the noun at all.

Let’s look at some examples:

“This car is mine.”

“The tickets they took were actually ours.”

“The test results are hers.”
