In addition to pronouns, the words that show possession are possessive nouns.

Possessive nouns indicate ownership, possession, purpose, or origin.

Examples:

I borrowed Jack's math book. (ownership)

Please lower the radio's volume. (possession)

The children's playground has been painted. (purpose)

Mother's apple pie is the best. (origin)
