Possessives: 's and Possessive Pronouns
Possessives are used to show ownership or belonging. We use 's to indicate possession:
"Sarah is my mother."
"Sarah is Jack's mom."
In these sentences, we're using 's to show that Sarah belongs to Jack as his mother.
We can also use possessive pronouns like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their" to indicate possession:
"My book."
"Your pen"
"His car."
Possessive pronouns replace nouns to show ownership. For example, instead of saying "Sarah's car," we can say "her car" using the possessive pronoun.
