There are two types of pronouns that are used to show possession, they are possessive pronouns, words that take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something; and possessive adjectives, words that describe a noun. Possessive adjectives are usually just before the noun it describes.

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

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

Example uses:

Pronoun: John lost his math book, this book must be his.

Adjective: John lost his math book, this must be his book.
