A possessive pronoun replaces a possessive adjective + a noun to avoid repeating information that is already clear.
Examples:
This is my shirt, not your shirt (sounds repetitive)
This bag is hers, not mine (sounds more natural)
| Personal pronouns | Possessive adjective | Possessive pronoun | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | My | This is my bag | Mine | This bag is mine |
| You | Your | Is this your hat? | Yours | Is this yours? |
| He | His | This is not his jacket | His | This jacket is his |
| She | Her | I have her shoes | Hers | These shoes are hers |
| It | Its | This is my cat and these are its toys | Its | *We do not use possessive pronoun |
| We | Our | Our socks are black | Ours | Ours are yellow |
| They | They | Their boots are nice | Theirs | Theirs are elegant |
