Question

Diferencia entre possessive adjectives object pronouns and possessive pronouns

Answer 1

POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS vs POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

We use both to talk about possession but they have different rules.
LET’S COMPARE:

Possessive Adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their)When we use the possessive adjectives IT IS NECESSARY TO PUT A NOUN AFTER the possessive adjective.
Example:

I didn’t take my book. (YOU NEED TO PUT “BOOK”)Maria went to her house.We need to put the noun after the possessive adjective “my”.Possessive Pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs)When we use the possessive pronouns WE DO NOT PUT THE NOUN AFTER the possessive pronoun.Example: “We are talking about a book”
- That is mine.
- Maria didn’t take hers.It is not necessary to put book because possessive pronouns can stand alone.
