Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about possessive pronouns.
Let's get started.
Remember that a pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence making the subject a person or
a thing.
Note that Possessive Pronouns are pronouns that demonstrate ownership.
Have a look.
The example over here.
This car is mine.
Note that the word mine in this sentence is a possessive pronoun and it tells us who the car belongs
to now Possessive Pronouns are used instead of possessive adjectives and nouns have a look at the table
below no subject I object mi possessive adjective my possessive pronoun mine you you your yours he him
his his she her her hers it it it's it's ri us our ours see them they're theirs.
Note that there is no apostrophe in possessive pronouns and Nyngan s have a look at the example below
I don't remember buying these teens I think they are yours and remember the possessive pronouns stand
on their own they are not used with another noun have a look at the example over here.
This is her cat.
Note that her is a possessive adjective and it can be used with a noun.
This in her cat and in the sentence.
This cat is hers.
Note the deep recessive pronoun in this sentence hers standing on its own.
Now we can use possessive pronouns after off.
Have a look.
These sentences over here Jake is one of my friends.
Note that we can also say Jake is a friend of mine.
Note that the possessive pronoun in the second sentence comes after off and remember that possessive
pronouns simplify constructions that show possession of a noun.
Have a look at the examples over here.
This is your room and that is our room.
The simplified version of the sentence would be.
This is your room and that is ours.
