English Review
Look at the following sentence pairs. One has an adjective, while the other has a pronoun.
My book is large. (adjective, describes book)Yours is small. (pronoun, takes the place of noun)
Your car is green. (adjective, describes car)Mine is red. (pronoun, takes the place of noun)
English Review
My book is large.My is an adjective because it modifies, or
describes the noun "book." Furthermore, it is a "possessive" adjective because it tells who owns, or possesses, the book.
Yours is small.Yours is a pronoun, because it replaces or takes
the place of a noun. In this case, the previous sentence tells us that "yours" is replacing the noun "book." Furthermore, it is a "possessive" pronoun because it tells who owns, or possesses, the noun it is replacing.
