What is a possive noun?

You're likely thinking of possessive pronouns.

Possessive pronouns show ownership or possession. They are words like:

* mine

* yours

* his

* hers

* its

* ours

* theirs

Example:

* "That car is mine." (Mine shows that the speaker owns the car.)

Important note: There's no such thing as a "possessive noun." A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. A noun can be made possessive using an apostrophe (e.g., "the dog's bone") but the noun itself is not a "possessive noun."
