📝 Explanation Summary:
Possessive pronouns show ownership without using a noun. They replace the noun and indicate who owns something.
| Pronoun | Meaning |
|--------|-----------------|
| mine | belongs to me |
| yours | belongs to you |
| his | belongs to him |
| hers | belongs to her |
| ours | belongs to us |
| theirs | belongs to them |
These pronouns are used
without an apostrophe (unlike possessive nouns like "Alina's").
