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

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

Example: The Smiths live on this street. The yellow houseis theirs.

Possessive adjectives are placed before a noun describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.

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

Example: The Smiths live on this street. Their house is the yellow one.
