What are the possessive pronouns that can serve as limiting adjectives?

Here's the breakdown of possessive pronouns and their use as limiting adjectives:

Possessive Pronouns as Limiting Adjectives

* My (singular, used with a singular noun)

* Example: "My book is on the table."

* Your (singular/plural, used with a singular/plural noun)

* Example: "Your car is parked outside."

* His (singular, used with a singular noun)

* Example: "His phone is ringing."

* Her (singular, used with a singular noun)

* Example: "Her shoes are beautiful."

* Its (singular, used with a singular noun)

* Example: "The dog wagged its tail."

* Our (plural, used with a plural noun)

* Example: "Our team won the game."

* Their (plural, used with a plural noun)

* Example: "Their house is on the corner."

Key Points:

* Limiting Adjectives: These adjectives modify nouns by specifying quantity, quality, or possession.

* Possessive Pronouns: They show ownership or belonging.

* How they function: Possessive pronouns act as adjectives when they are used to specify *whose* the noun is.

Example:

* Sentence: "I saw your car in the parking lot."

* Possessive Pronoun: *Your*

* Limiting Adjective Function: *Your* modifies the noun *car* by indicating whose car it is.
