POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
| Singular | Plural | |
| 1st person | my | our |
| 2nd person | your | your |
| 3rd person | his her its | their |
Possessive pronouns serve to modify nouns in the sentence, i.e. they function as adjectives.
e. g. The doctor usually came to his office at three o'clock.
Do you think you are losing your popularity?
From my place I could watch the people eating their lunch.
It should be noted that in English the possessive pronouns are often used instead of articles with nouns denoting relations, parts of the body, articles of clothing and various other personal belongings.
e. g. Bob nodded at his wife as if he wanted to say “You see?”
He bit his lips, but said nothing.
He took off his jacket and loosened his tie.
Amy put her cigarette back into her bag.
But there are certain idiomatic phrases where the definite article is used instead of a possessive pronoun.
e. g. I have a cold in the head.
He was shot through the heart.
He got red in the face.
He took me by the hand.
The ball struck him in the back.
He patted his wife on the shoulder.
The possessive pronouns may function as nouns as well. That they are used in their so-called absolute forms: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours and theirs.
e. g. She put her arm through mine.
They are not my gloves; I thought they were yours.
Theirs is a very large family.
It is noteworthy that its is hardly ever used as an absolute form.
Sometimes we find absolute forms of possessive pronouns preceded by the preposition of . This combination is called a double genitive.
e. g. He is a friend of mine.
It happened through no fault of his.
We had a slight accident and, luckily, that neighbour of yours came along or we would still be there.
