Using the Proper Possession

Definition:

"Using the Proper Possession" refers to the grammatical concept of correctly indicating ownership or possession of something in a sentence.

Senses:

1. Possessive Pronouns:

When an object or an idea belongs to someone, the proper possession is indicated by using possessive pronouns such as "mine," "yours," "hers," "his," "ours," or "theirs." These pronouns show ownership without the need for additional words.

Example sentence:

"That pencil is mine, not hers."

2. Possessive Adjectives:

Possessive adjectives are used to describe possessions or relationships between people and objects. They include words like "my," "your," "her," "his," "our," and "their." These adjectives introduce a noun and indicate ownership.

Example sentence:

"Can I borrow your car for the weekend?"

3. Possessive Nouns:

When a noun shows ownership, we can add an apostrophe (') followed by "s" ('s) to indicate the possession. This is known as a possessive noun, and it can be used for both living and non-living things.

Example sentence:

"I love my sister's cat. It's so cute!"
