Is his a proper noun

Answer 1

The word 'his' is not a noun; the word 'his' is a pronoun, a possessive pronoun and a possessive adjective.

Possessive pronouns are words that take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

The seven possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, hers, his, its, ours, theirs.

• Example: The house on the corner is his.

Possessive adjectives are words that describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. Possessive adjectives are usually placed just before the noun they describe.

The seven possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, hers, its, our, their.

• Example: His house is on the corner.
