Possessive Pronouns

First, let's start with the structure:

Possessive Adjectives
Possessive Adjective        +        Noun

Examples:

• My dog is big.
  
• Her cat is brown.
  
• Their sister works downtown.
  

Possessive Pronouns
Noun        +        Possessive Pronoun

Examples:

• The dog is mine.
  
• The brown cat is hers.
  
• The car is ours.
  

Possessive adjectives go before the noun and possessive 

pronouns go after the noun. Here are some examples:        

• This is my car.
  
• The car is mine.
  

• Is that your pen?
  
• Is that pen yours?
  

Here is a list of the possessive adjectives and possessive 

pronouns:
