Meet the Pronoun Forms

my → mine

your → yours

his → his

her → hers

its → no independent form

Avoid using “its” alone.

our → ours

their → theirs

One or many owned things: mine/yours/his/hers/ours/theirs stay unchanged.

“His” no cambia; no existe pronombre posesivo independiente para “it.”

Tips

Meet the Pronoun Forms

  1. Aprende las parejas por trabajo: my/mine, your/yours, his/his, her/hers, our/ours, their/theirs.
  2. Its necesita un sustantivo: its label. No se usa “its” solo como el paralelo ordinario de mine/hers, y it’s significa it is o it has.
  3. El número de lo poseído no cambia el pronombre: The badge is hers / The badges are hers. Nunca añadas otra -s: no “mines.”
