The books are ours.
The correct sentence would be: "Are the books theirs or ours?" Note the use of the possessive pronouns "theirs" and "ours" to indicate ownership, as well as the question mark at the end to indicate that it is a question.
"Theres" is a contraction of "there is" or "there has" and can be used in sentences like "Theres a new movie out this weekend" or "Theres been a mistake in the report." "Theirs" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership by multiple people, like "The red car is theirs" or "That success is all theirs."
"Ours" and "theirs" are pronouns that show possession or ownership. For example, you could say, "The blue car is ours," to indicate that the blue car belongs to us. On the other hand, you could say, "The red house is theirs," to show that the red house belongs to them.
Ours or theirs?
My, Mine, Your, Yours, His, Hers, Our, Ours, Their, Theirs, Its
no because ours is smaller and theirs is bigger
Their is already plural, the possessive form of the third person plural (they, them). The word "theirs" is a predicate adjective form (such as mine, ours, yours, and hers).
Subject (before a noun): (singular) my, your, his (plural) our, your, their Object (after a noun): (singluar) mine, yours, his, hers (plural) ours, yours, theirs. "Its" can be used in both subjective senses, but not objective.
A possessive pronoun is a pronoun that indicates ownership or possession. Examples include "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," and "theirs." Possessive pronouns do not require an additional noun to show ownership because they already indicate possession.
No. Ours is a possessive pronoun. It requires no punctuation to show possession.
The opposite of "ours" is "theirs." "Ours" is a possessive pronoun indicating something belongs to us, while "theirs" is a possessive pronoun indicating something belongs to them. The difference lies in the ownership or possession of the object in question.
Practically the same things we use now in 2009 but theirs wasnt as strong as ours are!
