There are two types of pronouns that show possession:

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

The possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, hers, his, its, ours, theirs.

Possessive adjectives are words that describe a noun as belonging to someone or something. Possessive adjectives are usually placed just before the noun they describe.

The possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

Example sentences:

Possessive Pronoun: The Browns live on this street. That house is theirs.

Possessive Adjective: The Browns live on this street. That is their house.
