Possessive Pronouns

Possessive Pronouns

1. Apesar de existir, o pronome ITS raramente é usado.
2. O possessive pronoun nunca é usado antes de um substantivo, pois sua função é substituir a construção possessivo adjetivo + substantivo.
Is that book still your book?
Is that book still yours?
3. O possessive pronoun sempre concorda com o possuidor e nunca com o que ele possui
I have my money and you have your.
4. Uma outra forma de indicar posse pode ser feita pela construção one of + possessive pronoun.
A friend of your (one of your friends) is here

 

Remember that pronouns always take the place of the noun and everything that goes with the noun. The possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs) are used instead of the possessive + noun to indicate possession. Let's see some examples:


          That car is my car -----> that car is mine


          This book is Mary's book -----> this book is hers
