What is a posseseve pronoun?

A possessive pronoun is a word that indicates ownership or possession. It replaces a noun phrase that shows who or what something belongs to.

Here are some examples:

Singular:

* My book is on the table. (This book belongs to me.)

* Your phone is ringing. (This phone belongs to you.)

* His car is red. (This car belongs to him.)

* Her dress is beautiful. (This dress belongs to her.)

* Its tail is wagging. (This tail belongs to it.)

Plural:

* Our house is big. (This house belongs to us.)

* Your parents are coming to visit. (These parents belong to you.)

* Their dog is friendly. (This dog belongs to them.)

Here's a helpful way to remember them:

* My, your, his, her, its: These are for singular possession.

* Our, your, their: These are for plural possession.

Important Note:

"It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has" and is not a possessive pronoun.
