An adjective pronoun (possessive adjective) is a pronoun that describes a noun as belonging to someone or something. Possessive pronouns are normally placed in front of the noun they describe.

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

Example Sentence: My house is on the corner.

Not to be confused with a possessive pronoun, which takes the place of something belonging to someone or something.

The possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.

Example: The house on the corner is mine.

Example: This bicycle is hers.

When is a word a pronoun or adjective?

A pronoun is any word that acts as a noun. An adjective modifies a noun. The difference between a possessive adjective (my, his, her) and a possessive pronoun is that the adjective form can be used before a noun, while the pronoun form is used with a verb. The pronoun "his" is both an adjective and a pronoun, while "her" is an adjective and "hers" is a pronoun, one that could not be used before a noun (It is her ball. It is her ball.)
