No, possessive pronouns DO NOT use apostrophes.
There are two types of possessive pronouns:
- Possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.
- Possessive adjectives describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. A possessive adjective is placed just before the noun it describes.
All possessive NOUNS use apostrophes. For example:
- the cover of the book = the book's cover
- the teacher of our class = our class's teacher
- the coat of the child = the child's coat
- the house of my neighbor = my neighbor's house
- the frame of the glasses = the glasses' frame
