Here's a breakdown:
Types of Possessive Pronouns:
* My, Mine: (Singular, first person) "That's my book." "This is mine."
* Your, Yours: (Singular, second person) "This is your pen." "The house is yours."
* His, Hers, Its: (Singular, third person) "This is his car." "That's hers." "The dog wagged its tail."
* Our, Ours: (Plural, first person) "This is our house." "The cookies are ours."
* Your, Yours: (Plural, second person) "This is your project." "The tickets are yours."
* Their, Theirs: (Plural, third person) "They lost their keys." "The car is theirs."
Key points:
* No apostrophe: Possessive pronouns do not have an apostrophe. (For example, it's *hers*, not *her's*.)
* Replacing nouns: They often replace a noun that has already been mentioned. For example, "This is my book" can be shortened to "This is mine."
Examples in Sentences:
* "I lost my phone."
* "The cat licked its paw."
* "This is our car."
