For instance, the word\u00a0<em>hers<\/em> is a possessive pronoun in the sentence Sara noticed that John&#8217;s dog was bigger than hers. The word\u00a0hers\u00a0suggests that \u201cSara&#8217;s dog\u201d (the noun phrase being substituted by the word\u00a0hers) belongs to Sara.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Possessive_Pronouns_List\"><\/span><strong>Possessive Pronouns List<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now that you understand how the possessive pronouns work, try using some of these possessive pronouns in your sentence structure.

Many writers create the common mistake of adding an apostrophe to possessive pronouns. While apostrophes can demonstrate possession, possessive pronouns do not take apostrophes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Say your sentences out loud<\/strong>. Sometimes reading a sentence aloud can assist you to pinpoint which part of it is incorrect. If the word doesn\u2019t sound right or seem to fit, try a distinct version of it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your placement<\/strong>. Possessive pronouns can either be used in place of a noun in a sentence or stand on their own. Unlike possessive adjectives, they will not occur before a noun or within a noun phrase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try not to confuse them with possessive adjectives<\/strong>. Confusing possessive adjectives with possessive pronouns is a common mistake. While possessive adjectives indicate ownership, they also work as an antecedent before a noun to supply information about the possessive quality of the noun itself. Possessive adjectives contain words like \u201cmy,\u201d \u201cyour,\u201d \u201cour,\u201d and \u201cits\u201d (which is the correct possessive form, rather than \u201cit\u2019s,\u201d which is a contraction for \u201cit is\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/courses\/spoken-english-in-malayalam\/?utm_source=Blog+&amp;utm_medium=Blog_inarticles+&amp;utm_campaign=spoken_english_inverted_coconut+\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sign Up for Entri Learning App and Improve Your English Vocabulary!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Possessive_Pronouns\"><\/span><strong>How to Use Possessive Pronouns<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we examine possessive pronouns particularly, it would be a good idea to review how pronouns, in general, are used in sentences. In brief, pronouns substitute nouns and noun phrases. This suggests that, grammatically, pronouns follow the same rules as nouns and can be used anywhere a noun can (i.e. as a subject or object).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proper usage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Possessive pronouns can be utilized as either subjects or objects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Subject: <\/strong>Ben already got his package.\u00a0<strong>Mine<\/strong>\u00a0isn\u2019t here yet.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Object: <\/strong>Dona found my backpack, but we still haven\u2019t found\u00a0<strong>hers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When used in sentences, a possessive pronoun compares the number of the\u00a0<strong>owner<\/strong>\u00a0and not\u00a0<strong>the owned object(s)<\/strong>. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I saw Peter carrying\u00a0<strong>a book<\/strong>. I think this book is\u00a0<strong>his<\/strong>. (The owner is Patrick.)<\/li>\n<li>I saw Peter carrying\u00a0<strong>books<\/strong>. I think these books are\u00a0<strong>his<\/strong>. (The owner is still Patrick.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The hardship arises when a possessive pronoun is used as a subject. When used as a subject, the verb will be singular or plural based on the number of\u00a0<strong>people or things being examined<\/strong>\u00a0and not the\u00a0<strong>owner<\/strong>. For instance,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jane\u2019s favorite movie is a romantic comedy. Mine is a\u00a0horror film. (One movie.)<\/li>\n<li>Jane\u2019s favorite pizza toppings are pepperoni and sausage. Mines\u00a0<strong>are <\/strong>ham and olives. (Multiple pizza toppings.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As with all other pronouns, it is essential to make it clear what noun\/noun phrase is being replaced by a possessive pronoun. Most of the time, a reader can use context to decide what person or thing is being directed to even if isn\u2019t explicitly stated:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Unclear: <\/strong>We found\u00a0<strong>ours<\/strong>. (Our what?)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Clear: <\/strong>Sam found his cat and we found\u00a0<strong>ours<\/strong>. (Although the sentence doesn\u2019t precisely say it, we can use context to determine that\u00a0<em>ours<\/em>\u00a0refers to \u201cour cat.\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The possessive pronoun\u00a0his<\/h3>\n<p>The word\u00a0<em>his<\/em>\u00a0can be categorized as either a possessive pronoun or a possessive adjective depending on how it is used in a sentence. If it is used as a subject or an object, it is believed to be a pronoun. If it is used to change a noun, it is supposed to be an adjective.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Possessive pronoun:<\/strong>I put on my shoes and Dayana put on\u00a0<strong>her<\/strong>. (<em>Her<\/em>\u00a0is used as an object.\u00a0<em>Her<\/em>\u00a0is a pronoun in this sentence.)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Possessive adjective:<\/strong>I think this is\u00a0<strong>her<\/strong>\u00a0hat. (<em>Her<\/em>\u00a0is changing the noun\u00a0<em>hat<\/em>.\u00a0<em>Her<\/em>\u00a0is an adjective in this sentence.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Adverbs are used to strengthen an action or explain the circumstances in which an action takes place.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s<\/strong><strong>\u00a0a possessive pronoun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eventually, we ought to look at the pronoun<em>\u00a0its<\/em>. This word can be used just like the further possessive pronouns. For instance,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The kitten immediately knew which ball was\u00a0<strong>its<\/strong>. (<em>Its <\/em>replaces \u201cthe Kitten\u2019s ball.\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>The tree\u2019s leaves were distinct from all of the others. <strong>Its <\/strong>were made of gold. (<em>Its<\/em>\u00a0replaces \u201cthe tree\u2019s leaves.\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To many English speakers, the above two sentences will look and sound strange. The word<em>\u00a0its<\/em>\u00a0is seldom used as a possessive pronoun, and this usage is often avoided in everyday writing and speech. Instead, the word\u00a0<em>its<\/em>\u00a0is used quite often as a possessive adjective.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improper_usage\"><\/span><strong>Improper usage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, possessive pronouns can only be employed where a noun or another pronoun can be used as well (as a subject or an object). Possessive pronouns are NOT modifiers, which indicates they are not used in place of adjectives, adverbs, or similar parts of speech. Of course, as we mentioned above, the word\u00a0<em>his<\/em>\u00a0is an exception to this rule.<\/p>\n<p>Possessive pronouns have an important space in our sentences.
