Pronouns: possessive (my, mine, your, yours, etc.)
We use pronouns to refer to possession and ‘belonging’. There are two types: possessive pronouns and possessive determiners.
What part of speech is speaks
We use possessive determiners before a noun. We use possessive pronouns in place of a noun:
Is that [determiner]your scarf? It’s very similar to [pronoun]mine. (It’s very similar to my scarf.)
That’s not [determiner]their house.
[pronoun]Theirs has got a red front door.
It was [determiner]his fault not [pronoun]hers.
personal pronoun | possessive determiner | possessive pronoun |
I | my | mine |
you (singular and plural) | your | yours |
he | his | his |
she | her | hers |
it | its | its* |
we | our | ours |
they | their | theirs |
one | one’s | one’s* |
*We avoid using its and one’s as possessive pronouns except when we use them with own:
The house seemed asleep yet, as I have said, it had a life of its own.
One doesn’t like to spend too much time on one’s own.
