Pronouns: possessive (my, mine,your, yours, etc.)


from English Grammar Today
We use pronouns to refer to possession and belonging. There are two types: possessive
pronouns and possessive determiners. We use possessive determiners before a noun. We
use possessive pronouns in place of a noun:
Is that [determiner]your scarf? Its very similar to [pronoun]mine. (Its very similar to my scarf.)
Thats not [determiner]their house. [pronoun]Theirs has got a red front door.
It was [determiner]his fault not [pronoun]hers.

*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

We dont use s after possessive pronouns:


Are those gloves hers?
Not: Are those gloves hers?

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 another determiner with a possessive determiner:


Im going to get my hair cut this afternoon.
Not: get the my hair cut

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.

We dont use possessive pronouns before nouns:


Lots of our friends were at the party.

Not: Lots of ours friends
