Possessive adjectives We will now learn about another type of adjective. Read the following sentences: • I’ll get my bag. • Is that her notebook? In these sentences, the words ‘my’ and ‘her’ are adjectives that show who owns the bag and the notebook. In other words, they are possessive adjectives. ‘My’ shows that the bag belongs to the speaker, and the notebook belongs to a girl or a woman. The other possessive adjectives are your, his, its, your (plural), our and their. Examples: • His name is Rustom. ‘His’ shows that the name belongs to Rustom. • Sirish doesn’t have our phone number. ‘Our’ shows that the phone number belongs to ‘us’. • Priya has your notebook. ‘Your’ shows that the notebook belongs to a person. Possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns Possessive adjectives are often confused with possessive pronouns. However,there is a difference between the two.
