A possessive adjective in English grammar is a modifier used to show ownership or possession. It appears before a noun and indicates to whom or what something belongs.
Common examples include “my,” “your,” “his,” “her,” “its,” “our,” and “their.”
For instance, in the phrase “her book,” “her” is the possessive adjective, indicating that the book belongs to the person identified as “her.”
Possessive adjectives help establish relationships and ownership, allowing for clearer and more precise communication when describing who possesses something or to whom something belongs.
