Possessive Pronoun dan Adjective

Possessive adjective memiliki bentuk yang mirip dengan possessive pronoun. Perbandingannya dapat dilihat pada tabel berikut.

Person Number Posessive Pronoun
1st Singular mine
2nd yours
3rd hers, his
1st Plural ours
2nd yours
3rd theirs
Person Number Possessive Adjective
1st singular atau plural my
2nd your

Pronoun berfungsi mengantikan noun yang dapat berupa singular (mine, yours, hers, his, its) atau plural (ours, yours, theirs). Jika pronoun yang berperan sebagai subjek kalimat berupa singular, maka verb yang mengikuti berbentuk singular, begitupun sebaliknya.

Sedangkan semua possessive adjective dapat digunakan bersama singular maupun plural noun. Ketika noun yang berperan sebagai subjek kalimat berupa singular, maka diikuti verb berbentuk singular, berlaku sebaliknya.

S (possessive adjective + noun) + verb: verb, singular atau plural, yangmengikuti subjek kalimat dengan possessive adjective tergantung dari number dari noun pada subjek kalimat tersebut.
