C. Possessive Adjectives and Possessive Pronoun

Possessive means the word possession. There are 2 types of possessives that we will discuss,

namely Possessive Adjectives and Possessive Pronouns. Possessive Adjectives are always
followed by a noun. Pay attention to the following sentence. While the Possessive Pronoun

is not followed by a noun in the sentence, because the object in question is already mentioned.

1. It is my car. The car is mine

2. This is my sister’s bike. The bike is my sister’s
Language Note : the rule for the possessive’s. It is used:

• Person + thing (noun) example : John’s book
