The personal pronoun 'you' is a second person pronoun that functions as both singular and plural.

There are two types of pronouns used to show possession.

A possessive pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

The second person, possessive pronoun is yours.

The possessive adjective 'yours' functions as both singular and plural.

A possessive adjective is a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.

The second person possessive adjective is your.

The possessive adjective 'your' functions as both singular and plural.

Examples:

Jack, the sandwich on the table is yours. (possessive pronoun)

Jill, your sandwich is on the table. (possessive adjective)
