The word him is a pronoun, not a noun; it is not a possessive pronoun. Him is a the objective pronoun that takes the place of a noun for a male as the object of a sentence or phrase. Example:

  • The book belongs to him.

His is a possessive pronoun and a possessive adjective.

The possessive pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun that belongs to a male. Example:

  • This book is his.

The possessive adjective describes a noun as belonging to a male; the possessive adjective is place just before the noun it describes. Example:

  • This is his book.

No, "him" is a personal pronoun, not a possessive noun. Possessive nouns show ownership or possession, while personal pronouns refer to people or things without naming them specifically. Examples of possessive nouns include "his" and "John's," while "him" is a personal pronoun used to refer to a male person or thing.
