Possessive pronouns and adjectives are two different ways to
show possession in English.

Possessive pronouns and adjectives go in different places:

Possessive Adjective + Noun

Examples:

My dog is big.
Her cat is brown.
Their sister works downtown.

Noun + Possessive Pronoun

Examples:

The dog is mine.
The brown cat is hers.
The car is ours.

Possessive adjectives go before the noun and possessive
pronouns go after the noun.

Examples:

This is my car.
The car is mine.

Is that your pen?
Is that pen yours?

Here is a list of the possessive adjectives and possessive
pronouns:

Another way to show possession is to use an apostrophe. For
