The noun family is a common noun, a word for any family anywhere.

The common noun family becomes a proper noun when it is the name of a person, place, thing or a title; for example:

  • New Rochelle Family Court, New Rochelle, NY
  • Family Farm Road, Woodside, CA
  • Family Cafe, Mesa, AZ
  • 'Family Guy', Fox TV animated series

The word his is a pronoun, a possessive pronoun or a possessive adjective.

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

  • Jack lives on this street. The house on the corner is his.

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

  • Jack lives on this street. His house is on the corner.
