Possessive Adjectives
A possessive adjective (``my,'' ``your,'' ``his,'' ``her,'' ``its,'' ``our,'' ``their'') is
similar or identical to a possessive pronoun; however, it is used as an adjective and
modifies a noun or a noun phrase, as in the following sentences:
I can't complete my assignment because I don't have the textbook.
In this sentence, the possessive adjective ``my'' modifies ``assignment'' and the
noun phrase ``my assignment'' functions as an object. Note that the possessive
pronoun form ``mine'' is not used to modify a noun or noun phrase.
What is your phone number.
Here the possessive adjective ``your'' is used to modify the noun phrase ``phone
number''; the entire noun phrase ``your phone number'' is a subject complement.
Note that the possessive pronoun form ``yours'' is not used to modify a noun or a
noun phrase.
The bakery sold his favourite type of bread.
In this example, the possessive adjective ``his'' modifies the noun phrase ``favourite
type of bread'' and the entire noun phrase ``his favourite type of bread'' is the direct
object of the verb ``sold.''
After many years, she returned to her homeland.
Here the possessive adjective ``her'' modifies the noun ``homeland'' and the noun
phrase ``her homeland'' is the object of the preposition ``to.'' Note also that the form
``hers'' is not used to modify nouns or noun phrases.
We have lost our way in this wood.
In this sentence, the possessive adjective ``our'' modifies ``way'' and the noun
phrase ``our way'' is the direct object of the compound verb ``have lost''. Note that
the possessive pronoun form ``ours'' is not used to modify nouns or noun phrases.
