The possessive pronouns and possessive adjectives have different functions.
The possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.
The possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.
Example: The house on the corner is mine.
The possessive adjectives describe a noun by taking the place of a noun that something belongs to; the possessive adjectives are placed just before the noun that it describes.
The possessive adjectives: are my, your, our, his, her, their, its.
Example: My house is on the corner.
In the same way, the demonstrative pronouns act as pronouns when they take the place of the noun and act as determiners when placed just before the noun to indicate or specify the noun.
The demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those.
Example: That is a nice bicycle. OR That bicycle is nice.
Many of the indefinite pronouns can also act as determiner, for example:
I will have another. OR, I will have another pieceof cake.
Many will like the movie. OR, Many people will like the movie.
