📌 Explanation:

Possessive pronouns show ownership *without* needing a noun after them — they replace the noun + “’s” or “of” structure.

Let’s break down each one:

1. “my father” → “his”
→ “His” is the possessive pronoun for “he” (or male singular). Since the clock belongs to your father (a male), we use his.

2. “us” → “ours”
→ “Ours” is the possessive pronoun for “we/us”. The dessert belongs to “us”, so it is ours.

3. “Kim and Ken” → “theirs”
→ “Theirs” is used for plural people (like “they”). Kim and Ken = they → theirs.

4. “Anna” → “hers”
→ “Hers” is the possessive pronoun for “she” (female singular). Anna = she → hers.

5. “Mom” → “hers”
→ Again, Mom is female → hers. Even though “Mom” is a title, it refers to a female person.

6. “us” → “ours”
→ Same as #2. Tires belong to “us” → ours.

7. “me” → “mine”
→ “Mine” is the possessive pronoun for “I/me”. Hat belongs to “me” → mine.

8. “me” → “mine”
→ Same as #7. Book belongs to “me” → mine.

9. “us” → “ours”
→ Things belong to “us” → ours.

10. “Jack” → “his”
→ Jack is male → his.

💡 Quick Tip:
- Mine = I / me
- Yours = you
- His = he / male
- Hers = she / female
- Its = object/animal (not used here)
- Ours = we / us
- Theirs = they / them

These pronouns stand alone — you don’t say “his clock” in this case; you say “It is his.” — because “his” already implies “his clock.”
