Possessive Pronouns

As you will recall, we add apostrophe-s onto the end of a noun to show possession. Pronouns also show possession, but do not require the use of an apostrophe-s. Here are some more examples:


	Jill said she needed to use my telephone.

	Greta must take her shower and go to bed.

	Paul changed his clothes before the party.
	
Remember that not all pronouns are possessive pronouns. Pronouns such as he, she, it, they, and I do not show possession. Pronouns such as my, our, their, her, his, and its do show possession. Here are a few more examples:

	John said that his mother said no.

	Francis will wash her dad's car in a little while.

	My dog likes to chase its tail.
