The pronoun 'his' is both a possessive pronoun and a possessive adjective.

A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something. The possessive pronoun 'his' takes the place of a noun that belongs to a male.

examples:

Jack's dog won a prize. His is the black and white border collie.

My brother lives on this street. The house on the corner is his.

A possessive adjective is a word that is placed before a noun to show that the noun belongs to someone or something. The possessive adjective 'his' is placed before a noun to show that the noun belongs to a male.

Examples:

The professor had lost his glasses.

His friends always sent postcards to him from their trips.
