Possessive Adjectives in English

Possessive adjectives indicate who owns something. In English, we usually use an apostrophe followed by the letter S to express possession, as in "Sara’s book." However, we can alternatively use a possessive adjective when we don't want to specify the person's name. For example, instead of saying "Sara’s book," we can say "her book."

my
possessive form for "I"
your
possessive form for "you"
his
possessive form for "he"
her
possessive form for "she"
its
possessive form for "it"
our
possessive form for "we"
their
possessive form for "they"
