    Possessive adjective

    Possessive adjectives are used with the aim of expressing the meaning of possession. Although they
    are often understood as pronouns, they are not, since they do not replace any noun or nominal
    phrase. On the contrary, the function of possessive adjectives is to accompany the noun/noun phrase
    that points to possession.

    sense of possession or property. It is very common among English learners to get confused
