POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS | English grammar lesson and exercise

This is an English grammar lesson all about possessive pronouns.
What are possessive pronouns?
Possessive pronouns are "mine", "yours", "his", "hers", "ours", "yours" and "theirs". They describe possession of something and they replace the noun and possessive adjective.
How to use possessive pronouns and why do we use them?
We use them to avoid repeating the noun. Example: "I like that shirt. Is it yours?" - Here the possessive pronoun "yours" replaces "my shirt". This makes the sentence sound and read better.
The possessive pronoun can be used as the subject of a sentence, example "Yours is blue." or as the object of a sentence, example "I don't like yours."
The possessive pronoun agrees with the person who owns the noun and not with the noun itself. We use the same pronoun for nouns in the singular and plural. Example: "It is yours." and "They are yours."
When we are writing, there is no apostrophe in any of the pronouns. Example this sentence is wrong: "Your's is very nice." This sentence is correct: ""Yours is very nice."
At the end of the English lesson, there is an exercise to test your understanding.
The accent in the video is a British English accent.

Excellent explanation. Thank you very much.

[@marinaantunes6584]

Hello, thank you for your helpful videos. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to make a video about possessive pronouns preceding gerunds? I’m not sure in which situations is acceptable to use an object pronoun instead of a possessive and does it really matter if it’s one form or another? If you could shed some light on this subject I’d be very thankful.

[@bijusamuel3701]

TY for this useful lesson!!
"Friend of mine" is it right and why......

[@eroump]

if we say that is my pen is it correct?

[@synapsysenglishacademy]

I cannot understand the concept of "its", I've found some places stating that there is a possibility of using "its" as a possessive pronouns, and in the same time, I found places telling me that there's no possibility of using "its" as a possessive pronouns

Thank you the video

[@nevesclaro5417]

Hi! I have a question about Third person singular (neuter) 11:36.
Is it wrong if I say: My neck is short but the giraffe's ONE is LONG/LONGER.

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

Claro Neves Hi and thanks for your comment. "My neck is short but the giraffe's one is long / longer" is grammatically correct but it still isn't very natural. It is better to repeat the noun.
