contoh :

Dalam bahasa Inggris sehari-hari, kita umumnya menggunakan kata benda dan kata sifat posesif posesif daripada ini 'dari' bentuk.
Possessive Adjectives
kata sifat Posesif yang digunakan sebagai pengganti kata benda posesif ketika referensi tersebut dipahami. Sebagai contoh:
Tom is a dog lover. He takes his dog Spike everywhere!
Dalam hal ini, jelas bahwa 'itu' mengacu pada Tom karena konteks. kata sifat Posesif selalu ditempatkan di depan kata benda mereka memodifikasi. Berikut adalah daftar kata sifat posesif:
I - my dog
You - your cat
He - his book
She - her car
It - its color (NOT it's!)
We - our dog
You - your house
They - their farm
Contoh
That's my dog in the picture.
Does you cat like tuna?
He left his book in the car.
That's her car over there.
Its color is purple!
Our dog is like a member of the family.
Your house isn't far, is it?
Their farm produces pumpkins.
Possessive Nouns
Possesive noun memodifikasi kata benda lain juga untuk menunjukkan kepemilikan.
contoh
Peter's motorcycle
The building's structure
etc.
Bentuk kata ganti posesif dengan menempatkan sebuah apostrof (') setelah kata benda + s.
Peter -> Peter's motorcycle
building -> building's structure
Ketika nomina berakhir dengan 's' mungkin sulit untuk mengetahui di mana menempatkan 's'. Untuk nomina berakhir 's' dalam, atau menggunakan posesif dengan jamak biasa, tempat apostrof langsung setelah 's'. Jangan menambahkan 's' lain.
Parents -> parents' concern for their children
Computers -> computers' manufacturer
Perhatikan bahwa konstruksi ini dapat mengubah arti dari tunggal ke jamak.
contoh :
Whose book is that? It's mine. = It's my book.
Is this your pen? No, it's hers. = It's her pen.
Dalam kedua kasus, kata ganti posesif dapat digantikan untuk kata sifat posesif karena objek kepemilikan dipahami dari konteks.
Berikut adalah daftar kata ganti posesif.
I - mine
You - yours
He - his
She - hers
We - ours
You - yours
They - theirs
Is this your car? - No, that one over there is mine.
Whose lunch is this? - It's yours.
Whose house is it? - It's his.
Do you know who this belongs to? - It's hers.
This isn't her car. It's ours
Whose picture is this? - It's yours.
Who do those books belong to? - They're theirs.
Akhirnya, nomina posesif juga bisa digunakan dalam cara yang sama seperti possessive pronouns.
contoh:
Whose cell phone is that? - It's John's.
Who do these computers belong to? - They're our parents'.
