2. Using Possessive Pronouns and Adjectives
A possessive pronoun is used instead of a noun:
Julie's car is red. Mine is blue.
A possessive adjective is usually used to describe a noun, and it comes before it, like other adjectives:
My car is bigger than her car.
Remember:There are no apostrophes in possessive pronouns and adjectives.
The dog wagged its tail.
