Parts of Speech: Pronouns Overview

Possessive case pronouns

• They are used to show ownership.
•  They are my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, its, our, ours, your, yours, their,theirs. and whose.

Let’s Practice!

• I have a red car.

You can rephrase this sentence as such:

⇒ My car is red.

The word ‘My’ is a Possessive  Adjective. We called it adjective because it describes the word /noun ‘car’.

⇒ The red car is mine.

The word ‘mine’ is a Possessive pronoun.

Here I opted to put the personal(both subject and object forms), possessive ( pronouns & Adjective forms ), and reflexive pronouns in one table since they are very related.

Subject Pronouns	Object Pronouns	Possessive  Adjectives	Possessive pronouns	Reflexive Pronouns
I	me	my	mine	myself
you	you	your	yours	yourself
she	her	her	hers	herself
he	him	his	his	himself
it	it	its	(not used)	itself

we	us	our	ours	ourselves
they	them	their	theirs	themselves
you	you	your	yours	yourselves
