​Possessive adjectives indicate possession. They are always used with nouns. They tell us who things belong to.

​

​For example,

​My pen.

​Her pen.

​His pen.

​Maribel's pen.

​Jose's pen.

​

​Possessive adjectives reflect the possessor and not the noun possessed.

​For example,

​She's texting her friend.

​

subject + verb be + verb(ing) + possessive adjective+ noun.

Example:

My phone is dead. Pass me your phone. (possessive adjective)

My phone is dead. Pass me yours. (possessive pronoun)

Example:

My phone is dead. Pass me your phone. (possessive adjective)

My phone is dead. Pass me yours. (possessive pronoun)
