A possessive pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something. A possessive pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition in a sentence.

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

Examples:

His was the winning entry. (subject of the sentence)

A black sofa which mine is is difficult to keep clean. (subject of the clause)

The house on the corner is theirs. (direct object of the verb 'is')

My shoes are the same as yours. (object of the preposition 'as')
