What is a "possessive pronoun"?

A possessive pronoun is a type of pronoun that indicates ownership or possession. Possessive pronouns replace nouns to show that something belongs to someone or something. The main possessive pronouns in English are "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "its," "ours," and "theirs." For example, in the sentence "This book is mine," the pronoun "mine" indicates that the book belongs to the speaker. In "The house is theirs," the pronoun "theirs" shows that the house belongs to a group of people. Understanding possessive pronouns is important for expressing ownership and relationships clearly in language.
