Key Notes:-

  • A possessive pronoun shows ownership or something belongs to someone.
  • Examples: my, your, his, her, its, our, their
PronounExample Sentence

yourIs this your pencil? ✏️
hisHis ball is red ⚽
herHer doll is pretty πŸͺ†

Look at the owner

  • If it is me, use my
  • If it is you, use your
  • If it is he, use his
  • If it is she, use her
  • If it is it, use its
  • If it is we, use our
  • If it is they, use their

Replace the noun showing ownership with the correct pronoun

Example: β€œThis is Riya’s book” β†’ β€œThis is her book” πŸ“š
