A. A pronoun replaces a noun in a sentence. A possessive pronoun shows ownership.
Absolute Possessive Pronouns
mine yours his hers ours theirs
Underline the correct possessive pronoun that completes the sentence. Draw an arrow to the noun or pronoun that has ownership.
1. Marla could not find any keys. I gave her ( mine / hers ).
2. The family of ten shared a tiny cottage. At least it was ( mine / theirs ).
3. We built a solar-powered model car. We were proud of what was ( yours / ours ).
4. The Smiths have a beautiful garden. I want one like ( ours / theirs ).
5. As soon as you get upstairs, please pick up the clothes that are ( yours / mine ).
6. The twins shared a room although Jenny always thought of it as ( hers / his ).
Possessive pronouns function as adjectives. They describe ownership and answer which one or whose. They come before a noun or another adjective. Underline the correct pronoun acting as an adjective, and draw an arrow to the noun it is describing.
Possessive Pronouns as Adjectives
my your his its her their
Underline the correct possessive pronoun that completes the sentence. Draw an arrow to the noun or pronoun that has ownership.
