TermDefinitionExample PronounA word that takes the place of a noun. Words like he, she, it, and they.Instead of 'Sam plays,' we can say 'He plays.' 'He' is the pronoun. Possessive PronounA special pronoun that shows who owns something. It answers 'Whose?' 🤔The red ball is mine. ('Mine' shows I own the ball.) My / MineThese words show something belongs to ME.This is my hat. 🧢 The hat is mine. Your / YoursThese words show something belongs to YOU.Is that your dog? 🐶 The dog is yours. His / Her / Hers / ItsThese show something belongs to one person or animal.His bike is blue. Her cat is fluffy. The bone is its. Our / Ours / Their / TheirsThese show something belongs to a group.Our house is big. 🏡 The toys are theirs.

The 'Whose Is It?' Rule Possessive pronouns always answer the question 'Whose?' When you see a blank, ask 'Whose bike?' or 'Whose book?' to find the right word. Before a Noun or All Alone? Some pronouns go BEFORE a noun. Some stand ALONE. Use my, your, her, his, its, our, their BEFORE a noun (my coat). Use mine, yours, hers, his, ours, theirs ALONE (The coat is mine). No Apostrophes! 🚫 Possessive pronouns never, ever use an apostrophe ('s). It's always 'hers', 'its', 'ours', 'yours', 'theirs'. Never 'her's' or 'it's' (for owning).
