possesses something. In English, there are several
possessive adjectives:

• "My" - shows possession by the speaker.

Example: This is my car.

• "Your" - shows possession by the person(s)


being spoken to.

Example: Is this your book?

• "His" - shows possession by a male person or


singular noun.

Example: That is his house.

singular noun.

These possessive adjectives can be used before a noun


to indicate ownership. For example, "my car," "your
book," or "his house." They can also be used alone
without a noun when the context is clear. For instance,
"Is this yours?" or "The book is mine."

Remember that possessive adjectives agree with the


noun they modify in terms of number (singular or
plural) and gender.
