Your question doesn't make much sense: it is how a word is used in a sentence that determines if it is a pronoun or an adjective.

Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, their

So his and its can be either pronouns or adjectives.

His as a pronoun: "I have my book and he has his."

His as an adjective: "It is his book."

Its as a pronoun: "I have my dinner and the cat has its."

Its as an adjective: "The cat is eating its dinner."

A possessive adjective describes a noun. A possessive adjective is placed just before the noun that it describes.

For example: Our house is on the corner.

Then there are the demonstrative pronouns. The pronouns take the place of a noun in a sentence, describing near or far in place or time.

The demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these, those.

For example: That is my favorite movie.

The demonstrative pronouns are adjectives that describe the noun when placed just before the noun it describes:

For example: That movie is my favorite.

The indefinite pronouns can also either take the place of a noun or describe a noun; for example:

Pronoun: You may have some, we have more in the kitchen.

Adjective: Please have more noodles, they're good with some gravy.
