A possessive pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.
The possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, hers, his, its, ours, theirs.
A possessive adjective is a word placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.
The possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, hers, its, our, their.
