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
3rd her, his, its
1st our
2nd your
3rd their

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 pluralĀ noun. KetikaĀ nounĀ 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.

50 thoughts on “Possessive Adjective: Pengertian dan Contoh Kalimat”

      • before change adjective clausee “whose” introductory word function as: Possesive adjective

        =This is the girl, you saw her picture

        after change adjective clausee “whose” introductory word function as: Possesive adjective

        =This is the girl whose picture you saw

        so, can you explain the reason ?

        Thank you šŸ˜€

      • So we have two short sentences:
        *This is the girl.
        *You saw her picture.
        and want to combine them into a longer, more effective sentence by using the second sentence as an adjective clause. All we have to do is eliminate repetitive (or corresponding) word. It is “her” that corresponds to the girl. “Her” is a possessive, so we use “whose”.
        who = subject pronoun
        whom = object pronoun
        whose = possessive

        Hope this helps šŸ™‚

  2. Mbak, mau tanya, saya kan belajar di sekolah begini:

    • Hi Alvan,

      You can use “its” either as a pronoun (possessive) or possessive adjective (determiner). “it” is only used as a pronoun (subjective or objective).

      Some examples…

      The Guardian seems to respect its readers more than the Sun respects its. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Possessive_determiner#Its

      (possessive personal pronoun)
      Its color is black. (possessive adjective)
      It has just been raining. (subject)
      I removed it yesterday. (object)

      UPDATE:
      Materi It’s vs. Its

      • I got it mbk Wilma
        Thanks a lot šŸ˜‰
        It will be great if you give more specific explanation about pronoun so the readers will be easy to understand. As i know, many articles is written without detail explanation. The writer only writes and gives an explanation in general.
        Just like me, i got problem to know how its and it become not same šŸ˜‰
        But anyway, thank you for the anwer mbk Wilma šŸ™‚

      • Actually I’ve written about it’s vs. Its separately (I found it after using the search button -_-), but I haven’t linked the page to this page yet. I know how you feel. Good writers should be able to write for their readers, not only for themselves. Readers come from different educational backgrounds and have different purpose for reading. Some look for general overview, some look for detail.
        Btw the example of ā€œitsā€ as a pronoun is (so) rare. It seems ā€œitsā€ is possible to use as it, but not common.
