Possessive Adjective
Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership of something. While
we use them when we refer to people, it is more in the sense of relationship than
ownership.
Examples
My car is very old.
Her boyfriend is very friendly.
Our dog is black.
Their homework is on the table.
friday is my favourite day of the week
My birthday is in september
Like all adjectives in English, they are always located directly in front of the noun they
refer to. (Possessive Adjective + Noun)
Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns are used in English to avoid repeating information that is
already clear. In general it makes the sentence less confusing because the same
information is not being repeated.
This book is my book, not your book. (Sounds repetitive)
This book is mine, not yours. (Mine and yours are possessive pronouns)
In the sentence, mine is a possessive pronoun that replaces my book.
In the sentence, yours is a possessive pronoun that replaces your book.
