What part of speech other than pronouns shows possession?

The part of speech that shows possession other than pronouns is adjectives.

Specifically, possessive adjectives are used to show ownership or belonging.

Here are some examples:

* My book is on the table. (My is a possessive adjective)

* His car is red. (His is a possessive adjective)

* Their house is beautiful. (Their is a possessive adjective)

While pronouns are used to replace nouns, possessive adjectives function as adjectives modifying nouns to indicate possession.
