What Are Possessive Pronouns?
Possessive pronouns are words that show ownership. They tell you “who owns what.”
They help you avoid repeating nouns. This makes your sentences sound more natural.
- Example: Instead of This is my pen. That pen is my pen.
- You can say: This is my pen. That pen is mine.

They can be the subject or the object of a sentence.
- Subject: Yours is on the table. (Your book is on the table.)
- Object: I like hers. (I like her idea.)

الأسئلة الشائعة
What is the difference between 'my' and 'mine'?
'My' is a possessive adjective. It always comes before a noun, like my book. 'Mine' is a possessive pronoun. It stands alone and replaces 'my + noun', like The book is mine.
Do possessive pronouns change for plural nouns?
No, the possessive pronouns themselves do not change. For example, mine is used for one thing (This is mine.) and for many things (These are mine.). The pronoun stays the same.
Can I use 'its' as a possessive pronoun?
نعم،, its can be a possessive pronoun, but it is much less common than other possessive pronouns. You might hear The dog found its ball. The ball is its. but it is rare. Usually, we just repeat the noun or use a different structure.
