The word 'theirs' is a pronoun, a possessive pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for something that belongs to someone or something.

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

Example: Jack and Jill live on this street. The house on the corner is theirs.

The other type of pronoun that is used for possession is a possessive adjective, a word that's placed before a noun to describe the noun as belonging to someone or something.

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

Example: Jack and Jill live on this street. Their houseis on the corner.
