Pronouns are words that take the place of noun in a sentence.

The most common pronouns are the personal pronouns, words that take the place of noun for specific people or things.

The personal pronouns are: I, you, we, he, she, it, me, us, him, her, they, them.

Adjectives are words that describe nouns.

Examples of adjectives are: high or low, fast or slow, good or bad, sincere, and friendly.

Some pronouns are adjectives, they're called possessive adjectives.

Possessive adjectives are placed before a noun to show that the noun belongs to a specific person or thing.

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

Examples:

  • Johnis my brother. He is an accountant. (the pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'John' in the second sentence)
  • John is a successful accountant. (the adjective 'successful' describes the noun 'accountant')
  • John is my brother. (the possessive adjective 'my' describes the noun 'brother' as of the speaker)

The 'descriptive' pronouns are the possessive adjectives.

A possessive adjective is placed before a noun to describe that noun.

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

Example: You can borrow my book if you left your book in your locker.

The relative pronoun 'whose' also functions as a descriptive pronoun.

Example: The man whose car I hit was very nice about it.
