 Possessive pronouns show ownership of a person, place, or thing.

 Your car is green.

Your is an adjective because it modifies the noun “car.” Furthermore, it is a “possessive” adjective because it tells
who owns, or possesses, the car.

 Mine is red.

Mine is a pronoun, because it replaces or takes the place of a noun. In this case, the previous sentence tells us that
“mine” is replacing the noun “car.” Furthermore, it is a “possessive” pronoun because it tells who owns, or
possesses, the noun it is replacing
