Subject Object Possessive Possessive
adjectives pronouns
I me my mine,
You you your yours,
He him his his,
She her her hers,
It it its its
We us our ours,
They them their theirs,


We use possessive adjectives:
• to show something belongs to somebody:
That’s our house. My car is very old.
• for relations and friends:
My mother is a doctor. How old is your sister?
• for parts of the body:
He’s broken his arm. She’s washing her hair.
I need to clean my teeth.
We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a noun phrase:
Is that John’s car? No, it’s [my car] > No, it’s mine.
Whose coat is this? Is it [your coat]? > Is it yours?
Her coat is grey, [my coat]is brown Her coat is grey, mine is brown.
We can use possessive pronouns after of.
We can say:
Susan is one of my friends. or Susan is a friend of mine.
but not Susan is a friend of me
or I am one of Susan's friends.
or I am a friend of Susan's. but not I am a friend of Susan


We use a noun with ’s with a singular noun to show possession:
We are having a party at John’s house.
Michael drove his friend’s car.
We use s’ with a plural noun ending in -s:
This is my parents’ house.
Those are ladies’ shoes.
But we use ’s with other plural nouns:
These are men’s shoes. Children’s clothes are very expensive.


We can use a possessive instead of a noun phrase to avoid repeating words:
Is that John’s car? No, it’s Mary’s [car]. > No, it’s Mary’s.
Whose coat is this? It’s my wife’s [coat]. > It’s my wife’s.
