As in the English language, to point to any object, without naming it? And the quality of the object? What to replace these essential parts of speech as adjectives or nouns? A lifesaver in these cases will be the use of possessive pronouns. A group of such parts of speech are called Possessive Pronouns.

If you need to rest any of the objects (properties, object and so on) to any person, then you can use the possessive pronoun with the function definition of this noun. The pronoun will always be in front of him.

Possessive pronouns are distinguished in three categories: person, gender and number: my, your, his, her (my, your, his, her). Its (his or her), our-ours, your-yours their-them. And use these parts of speech in strict accordance with these categories. Unlike the Russian language, the possessive pronouns (English version) are used very often. Labeling items of clothing or body part and kinship, British be sure to specify that they belong using possessive pronouns:

She cleaned her shoes. It cleans shoes.

My clock is brown and his is silver. My watch is brown, and it – silver.

There are two forms of possessive pronouns: cojoint – attachable and absolute-absolute.

Possessive pronouns are expressed in the attached form – my, your, his, her, our, their – are placed before nouns, which correspond to:

My listing is in the box of the table. My printout is in the drawer.

And the same part of speech, but the absolute forms-mine, yours, his, hers, ours, yours, theirs – always replace them with:

What do cats like to eat? - Mine likes fish. They eat cats? - I like fish.

In the case when together with a noun used an adjective, the possessive pronoun in a properly constructed sentence will stand before them.

I have kept my new knick-knacks. I kept my new jewelry.

Possessive pronouns in the Russian language may be absent, but the default will be thinking in English and speech will be sure to be in the offer:

She put her purse into her bag. She shoved her wallet in her bag.

Take off your carpet. Remove the carpet.

The Personal pronoun I (I) in the singular in the possessive pronoun attached form - my (my, my, my, or mine), and in absolute – mine.

The same thing happens with the personal pronoun he (he). In the join form it transformirovalsya in his (its) absolute – also in his.

She, or she, in the form attached possessive pronoun would sound like her (it), absolute – hers.

It (it) has only one attached, form - its (his, her). In absolute form – is missing. And written together, without the apostrophe, in contrast to the acronym of the phrase it's (it is), where the apostrophe is required.

The Personal pronouns of the plural are also, in addition to merging, the absolute form of possessive pronouns.

We (we) in the attached possessive pronoun is used as our (our, our, our, our), in absolute form – ours.

The Join form from you (you) sounds like your (your, your, your, your), and absolute as yours.

And the last personal pronoun in the plural-they (they) in the form attached possessive pronoun transformirovalsya in their (them), in absolute form – in theirs.

Possessive pronouns are expressed in the absolute form, the proposal usually acquire the following values:

  1. To Be. My phone is pink. His is gray. My phone – pink. It – grey.
  2. Nominal part of the predicate. This office will be yours, and that office will be mine. This office will be yours and that is mine.
  3. Add-Ons. Take my journal and Kate will take theirs. Take my journal, and Kate will take them.
  4. Definitions. Used with the preposition of. She is a daughter of mine. It – my daughter.

Unlike the Russian language the possessive pronouns in English are not inflected for case.

The Pronouns conjunctive forms, as the definition of belonging, is never used separately from the defined.

If present quantify, all and both, possessive pronouns, and articles, are placed after quantitative definitions:

All my singles are in that album. All my songs are in this album.

Both his sisters live there. Both his sisters live there.

In English possessive pronouns such as “your”, does not exist, but in the case of coincidence of the person subject and possessive pronoun it can be used in translation into Russian language. For example:

I have found my letter. I found his letter.

She has published her book. She published her book.

They brought him their apples. They brought him his apples.

We’ve taken our dictionaries, has she taken hers? We brought our dictionaries, and it can take her?
