✔ Explanation Summary:
Possessive pronouns show ownership without using a noun. We match them based on:
-
Person: I (mine), you (yours), he/she/it (his/hers/its), we (ours), they (theirs)
-
Number: Singular vs. plural
-
Gender: Only matters for "his" and "hers"
For example:
- "Belongs to me" →
mine
- "Belongs to us" →
ours
- "Belongs to Jack" →
his
- "Belongs to Anna" →
hers
All answers are correctly filled in above!
