Possessive pronouns

Possessive pronouns are those words that replace the noun and denote a sense of possession, as in ” mine is better” or “ we must bet on ours .” In this article we will impart you the Possessive pronouns with types and examples.

Some grammars call the possessive pronouns tonic or post-nominal determiners, and the possessive adjectives , which accompany and precede the noun (as in “mi casa” or “su perro”), unstressed or prenominal determiners (for example: mi, tu, su , etc.).

Some words can be adjectives or pronouns, depending on their position in the sentence. For example: “our” is an adjective in “we are going to our home”, and it is a pronoun in “that home is ours ”.
