🔍 What are possessive pronouns?
Possessive pronouns show ownership and replace a noun + “’s” or “of.” They do NOT need a noun after them — they stand alone.
Examples:
- This book is
mine. (not “my book” — here we use “mine” because it replaces “my book”)
- That car is
hers.
- The toys are
theirs.

1. I made this friendship bracelet for you.

✔ Answer: theirs
➡️ The toys belong to *the kids* (plural). “Theirs” = belonging to them.

---
4. That bag belongs to Katie.
That is _______.
✔ Answer: hers
➡️ Katie is a girl → “hers” = belonging to her.

5. Liam made that painting.

---
7. The cat is so cute!
_______ fur is so soft.

➡️ The cat is an animal (not a person), so we use “its” to show possession. Note: “its” (no apostrophe) is the possessive form; “it’s” means “it is.”
