A noun is a Word for a person, a place, or a thing.

A possessive noun is a noun that indicate that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.

A noun indicates possession by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the Word, or adding just an apostrophe (s) to the end of a plural noun that ends with s.

A pronoun is a Word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

There are two types of pronouns that show possession:

Possessive pronouns are Words that take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

The possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, hers, his, its, ours, theirs.

Possessive adjectives are Words that describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. Possessive adjectives are usually placed just before the noun they describe.

The seven possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

EXAMPLES

My brother's car is parked in the driveway. (possessive noun)

The blue car is his. (possessive pronoun)

His car is new. (possessive adjective)
