A possessive pronoun is a type of pronoun that indicates ownership or belonging. It can stand in for a noun and show who something belongs to, such as "his," "hers," or "theirs." An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun, providing more information about it. So, a possessive pronoun functions to show ownership, while an adjective describes a noun or pronoun.
