📝 Identify Possessive Pronouns
| What are Possessive Pronouns? |
Possessive pronouns are words that show ownership. They tell us who owns something.
💡 Example:
- This is my book. (The book belongs to me)

| theirs | 🚗➡️👨👩👧👦 | Belongs to them |
| How to Use Possessive Pronouns |
✅ Before a noun:
- This is my pencil ✏️
- That is her doll 🪆
✅ Without a noun (stands alone):
- This pencil is mine 📏
- The doll is hers 🪆
| Tips to Remember |

- ✅ hers, ours, theirs
