Subject/object/possessive pronouns + possessive adjectives

Syllabus topic 27: Subject/object/possessive pronouns + possessive adjectives

Subject/object/possessive pronouns + possessive adjectives. Subject pronouns act as subjects, object pronouns follow verbs or prepositions, possessive adjectives precede nouns, and possessive pronouns stand alone.

How it works

Subject pronouns act as subjects, object pronouns follow verbs or prepositions, possessive adjectives precede nouns, and possessive pronouns stand alone. Compare she, her, her coat and hers. Do not add an apostrophe to yours, hers or theirs.

Examples in context

Notice how each form fits its sentence. Read the context before choosing a form.

  • That bag is mine. (belongs to me)
  • Their car is red. (belongs to them)
  • Please call us. (we)
  • This coat is hers; that one is yours. (belongs to you)
  • They are my neighbours.
