Possessive Determiners and Pronouns

1Công thức

possessive determiner (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) + noun; possessive pronoun (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) replaces a noun; a/the + noun + of + possessive pronoun

2Giải thích

Tính từ sở hữu (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) đứng trước danh từ; đại từ sở hữu (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) đứng một mình thay cho danh từ. Không có dấu nháy trong đại từ sở hữu; its (của nó) khác it's (it is/it has).

Possessive determiners come before a noun, whereas possessive pronouns stand on their own instead of a noun. Possessive pronouns can follow of to show possession (a friend of mine).

3Khi nào dùng

Showing who owns something
Avoiding repetition of a noun
Double possessives (a colleague of mine)

4Quy tắc cần nhớ

Possessive pronouns do not take an apostrophe
Its (possessive) is different from it's (it is/it has)
Never use a possessive pronoun before a noun

5Ví dụ

I left my bag at home, so I borrowed hers.
That car is ours, not theirs.
He is a friend of mine.
