Possessives

There are two types of possessives which are determined by their function in the sentence.

Possessive Determiners	Example
my	This is my house.
your	This is your book.
his	This is his bicycle.
her	This is her dress.
its	The dog doesn’t like to be on its own.
our	These are our suitcases.
your	These are your seats.
their	These are their books.
