Personal Pronoun and Possessive Pronoun






Personal Pronoun and Possessive Pronoun :


Possessive pronouns are exactly the words that are the pronouns that help us show possession in the English language. Usually to show possession, we have two options that are grammatically correct.

First, we can use an apostrophe and an s.

Raja’s brother was named Alex.
Mary’s sister gets married today.

However, when we want to use a pronoun to show possession, we cannot use subject pronouns.

HE is a subject pronoun. Replace it with the appropriate possessive pronoun and it will make a lot more sense.

His name was Alex.
Her sister gets married today.

Possessive pronouns include my, mine, our, ours, its, his, her, hers, their, theirs, your and yours - all words that demonstrate ownership.

Possessive pronouns stand for nouns and are thus used instead of the nouns to which they refer.
