No, the word 'letter' is a verb and a noun.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

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

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

Examples:

We will letter each door with the name and title of the occupant.

  • The complete verb is 'will letter'; the main verb is 'letter'.
The letter is from Aunt Mary. I recognize the handwriting as hers.
  • The noun 'letter' is the subject of the sentence, a word for a piece of mail; a word for a thing.
  • The possessive pronoun 'hers' takes the place of the noun 'handwriting' (belonging to Aunt Mary).

A possessive pronoun can be confused with a possessive adjective, a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.

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

Example: The letter is from Aunt Mary. Herhandwriting is very recognizable.
