POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

They are used to indicate to whom the subject or object of the sentence belongs. They
are followed by a noun (or a nominal clause).
A possessive adjective is usually used to describe a noun, and it comes before it, like
other adjectives:

My car is bigger than her car.

my books

Remember:

There are no apostrophes in possessive adjectives.

The dog wagged its tail.

“It's” is not a possessive adjective — it means “it is”:

It's not my dog.
