30 Example Sentences Using Possessive Pronouns

Welcome to this useful lesson! If you’re here to learn or get better at English, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re talking about something that can make your sentences sound just right. It’s a small change but makes a big difference in how we talk about things that belong to us or someone else.

Definition of Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns are words we use to show who owns or possesses something, without repeating the noun. They make sentences shorter and clearer. For example, instead of saying “the book of Mark,” we say “his book.”

There are different possessive pronouns like “mine,” “yours,” “his,” “hers,” “its,” “ours,” and “theirs.” They fit into sentences smoothly and help us avoid repeating information. For instance, if Sarah has a pen, instead of saying “This is Sarah’s pen,” we can simply say, “This is hers.“ It’s all about making things simple and clear!
