personal pronoun
*We avoid using its and ones as possessive pronouns except when we use them
with own:
The house seemed asleep yet, as I have said, it had a life of its own.
One doesnt like to spend too much time on ones own.
Typical errors
s is not used with the possessive pronoun its. Its means it is:
The team is proud of its ability to perform consistently well.
Not: proud of its ability
We dont use possessive determiners on their own. They are always at the
beginning of noun phrases:
Thats not my book. Its yours. (or Its your book.)
Not: Its your.
