PREZENTAREA PRONUMELOR POSESIVE
Acestea sunt, de fapt, genitivele pronumelor personale, tinând locul unui substantiv în cazul genitiv.
Formele de singular
mine - al meu, a mea, ai mei, ale mele
yours - al tău, a ta, ai tăi, ale tale
his - a, al , ai, ale lui, a sa, ai săi, ale sale
hers - a, al , ai, ale ei, a sa, ale sale
Pronumele posesive nu mai sunt ca adjectivele, urmate de un substantiv.
Exemple:
This blue car is his.
The blue shirt is hers.
NOTĂ - "Its" nu se foloseste ca pronume posesiv.
Formele de plural
ours - al nostru, a noastră, ai nostri, ale noastre
yours - al vostru, a voastră, ai vostri, ale voastre
theirs - a, ai, ale lor.
Exemple:
These pens are ours.
These houses are theirs.
