Possessive pronouns

For today's mini lesson, let's talk about possessive pronouns.

The English possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs. Notice that 'his' is the same as the possessive determiner. We don't usually use 'its' as a pronoun

Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) must be used without a noun. They replace possessive determiners (my / your / etc) + noun.
 

• It's my book OR it's mine.
• That's your car OR it's yours.
• Those are his shoes OR they're his.
• It's her umbrella OR it's hers.
• Please open our gift first OR please open ours.
• The students took their books OR the students took theirs.

Let's review!

1. That's (my / mine) car.
2. The red coats are (their / theirs).
3. Could you pass (your / yours) cup?
