Possessive Pronouns Exercise 1

Grammar review Possessive pronouns vs possessive adjectives

Both show ownership but are used differently:

Possessive adjectives — come before a noun:
my, your, his, her, its, our, their
This is my book.  /  Where are their keys?

Possessive pronouns — stand alone with no noun following:
first person singular: mine  |  second person: yours  |  third person masc: his
third person fem: hers  |  first person plural: ours  |  third person plural: theirs
This book is mine.  /  The keys are theirs.

Quick test: If a noun comes directly after the word → adjective. If it stands alone → pronoun.
