There are two types of pronouns that show possession.

Possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

They are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.

Example: My brother lives on this street. The house on the corner is his.

Possessive adjectives describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. A possessive adjective is placed just before the noun it describes.

They are: my, your, his, her, their, its.

Example: My brother lives on this street. His house is on the corner.
