📚 Topic Summary
Possessive pronouns show ownership. They tell us who or what something belongs to. Unlike possessive adjectives (like "my" or "your"), possessive pronouns stand alone and don't need to be followed by a noun. Some common possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs. For example, instead of saying "That is my book," you can say "That book is mine."
