Question

State whether true or false:
Possessive pronouns show ownership.
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Hint: A pronoun is a word or phrase that is used to replace a noun or noun phrase, which is referred to as the pronoun's antecedent. Pronouns are short terms that can perform all of the functions of nouns and are one of the sentence's building blocks. He, she, you, me, I, we, us, this, them, and that are all common pronouns. A pronoun can take the place of any person, place, animal, or thing and can function as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, and more.

Complete answer:
Possessive pronouns -
Possessive pronouns indicate that something belongs to a specific person. My, our, your, his, her, it, and there are possessive pronouns. Each of these pronouns has an “independent” form: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, it, and theirs. Apostrophes are never used to spell possessive pronouns.

Possessive pronouns make it easier to indicate that a noun is owned.
Example - Jane takes pride in Jane’s outfits.
Jane's name appears twice in this sentence, which seems odd. The problem is solved by using a possessive pronoun.
Example - Jane takes pride in her outfits.
Independent possessive pronouns -
Without a noun, independent possessive pronouns (also known as absolute possessive pronouns) must be used.
Example - My phone is dead. Pass me yours.

Pronouns that help us show possession or ownership in a sentence are known as possessive pronouns. Mine, one, and other possessive pronouns are examples. As a result, the given sentence is correct.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: In almost all instances, a pronoun must come after an antecedent word. This essentially means that a pronoun can only be fully comprehended in the sense of previous knowledge about the noun. If we use the pronoun she in a sentence, for example, we will only be able to understand it if we know who she is, so an antecedent, such as the person's name, is typically given first.
