POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Examples of possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers,

ours, theirs, its.

Unlike personal pronouns, these usually stand alone and

do not have to precede a noun.

E.g.

• Karen told me that she had lost her phone.

That must be hers.

• They have found their seats. Have you spotted ours?

• The cat is looking for its master.

Note: The possessive pronoun its is different from it’s.

It’s is a contracted form of it is.
