Understanding Possessive Pronouns – Define possessive pronouns – Words that show ownership without using a noun – Examples: mine, yours, his – ‘That book is mine.’ ‘Is that pen yours?’ ‘The choice is hers.’ – Pronouns vs. Adjectives – Pronouns replace nouns; adjectives describe nouns – Practice distinguishing them – ‘My book’ (adjective) vs. ‘Mine’ (pronoun) | This slide introduces possessive pronouns, which are used to indicate ownership and avoid repeating nouns.
