Can you give me examples of sentences using pronominal adjectives?

Here are some examples of sentences using pronominal adjectives, categorized by the type of pronoun:

Possessive:

* My car is red.

* Your homework is due tomorrow.

* His phone is always ringing.

* Her dog loves to play fetch.

* Its tail wagged happily.

* Our house is on the corner.

* Their vacation is next week.

Demonstrative:

* This book is interesting.

* That dog is barking.

* These shoes are comfortable.

* Those flowers are beautiful.

Interrogative:

* Whose book is this?

* Which shirt do you want?

* What color is your car?

Indefinite:

* Any questions?

* Some students are late.

* All of the books are checked out.

* No one is here.

Reflexive:

* She hurt herself playing soccer.

* They painted the house themselves.

* He gave himself a pat on the back.

Note: Pronominal adjectives always modify a noun, and they are often used in place of a possessive pronoun.

Examples:

* My cat is sleeping. (Pronominal adjective "my" modifies the noun "cat")

* The cat is sleeping. (No pronominal adjective, "the" is a definite article, not a pronominal adjective)

* It's my cat. (Pronominal adjective "my" modifies the noun "cat" but it is part of a contraction)
