pronouns? Do you still remember the kinds of pronoun? Can you
write them inside the boxes?

B. Do you know the characters of the story “Si Malakas at Si

Maganda”? Let us try replacing their names with pronouns.

Malakas : _____________

Malakas, Maganda and the bird : _____________

3
 What’s New

One of the kinds of pronoun is the possessive pronoun. Possessive

pronouns show possession or ownership when used in sentences.

Read the poem aloud as if you are performing on a stage.

Mine, Yours, Ours, and Theirs

(An Excerpt from Jumpstart English 3)
I am a girl, and
My name is Shine,
I own this little Bible/Koran,
So this is mine.

Your name is Amir, and

You love to go on tours
You bought souvenirs
So those are all yours.

Our father had a surprise,

He bought home a car
He said it is for the family,
So that car is ours.

Their family loves animals, so

They bought a dog,
They own that animal,
So the dog is theirs.

Notice the underlined words. They are examples of possessive

pronouns.

4
 What is It

Possessive pronouns are of two kinds: absolute pronouns and

possessive adjectives.

Absolute pronouns could stand alone. They replace a noun or

noun phrase already used in the sentence to avoid repetition.
Mostly, they are found at the end of the sentence.

Possessive adjectives function as determiners and are positioned

in front of a noun. Mostly they are found at the subject part of the
sentence.

Take a look at the table below and study.

I Mine My Mama buys me a pencil. That is

mine.

yours?

his.
Can you call him by hisname.

It Its Its The dog has a new feeding cup.

It is its.
Its cup is an aluminum one.

We ours our The house is for the family, so it is

Our house is simple but clean.

Take a look at the illustrations with sample sentences.

Ours
Taylor Swift
(Source: LyricFind)
Elevator buttons and morning air,
Strangers silence makes me want to take the stairs,
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares,
But right now,
My time is theirs.
Seems like there's always
Someone who disapproves,
They'll judge it like they know about me and you,
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do,
The jury's out,
And my choice is you.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
The stakes are high,
The waters rough,
But this love is ours,
You never know what people have up their sleeves,
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me,
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles,
But I don't care,
'Cause right now you're mine,
And you say,
So don't you…
