Possessive adjectives and
pronouns
A possessive adjective tells us that someone owns (or possesses)
something.
My, your, his and her are all possessive adjectives.
We use a possessive adjective before a noun:
This is my brother.
Where is your sister? 
How much did his car cost?
A possessive pronoun also tells us who owns a thing. However,
a possessive pronoun is NOT followed by a noun:
Whose book is this? Is it yours? 
___________
yours book
The blue car is my brother’s; the red car is mine.
_________
mine car
I bought the house – it’s mine.
___________
mine house
