Possessive pronouns발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

[Voiceover] All right grammarians, let's get down to it, and start talking about possessive pronouns.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

A possessive pronoun is a pronoun that we use to show possession of something which is just sort of a fancy way of saying "you have it."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So possession equals having stuff.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now we can essentially divide possessive pronouns in half, because on this side of the divide, we have a list of pronouns that behave like adjectives, and on this side, we have a group of pronouns that behave like nouns.발음듣기

I'll list them and then we'll give some examples.발음듣기

So the possessive pronoun that behaves like an adjective for me is my.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The possessive pronoun that behaves like a noun for me is mine.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Our behaves like an adjective; ours behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Your behaves like an adjective; yours behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Her behaves like an adjective; hers behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

His behaves like an adjective; his behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Its behaves like an adjective; its behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And their behaves like an adjective, and theirs behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now I'd like to point out that nowhere in any of these words does there appear such a thing as an apostrophe.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That little guy.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I know this much is true: there are no apostrophes in possessive pronouns.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So it's not ours, it's ours, like that.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's not yours with an apostrophe like that, it's yours with no apostrophe.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Likewise it's not hers, his, it's is the big one.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That means something entirely different. Or theirs.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Across all varieties of English, the possessive pronouns don't have any apostrophes in them.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So this is a very handsome looking chart if I do say so myself, but it doesn't really do the work of explaining what I mean by saying my behaves like an adjective, and mine behaves like a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So let me get some example sentences down and we'll see what I mean.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So let's say that there was a book that I owned.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

How would I talk about it?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Well I could do it two different ways using these possessive pronouns.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I could say, "That is my book."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And here my is working as an adjective that modifies and describes book.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Or I could say, "That book is mine."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And here we're using is to connect book to mine, and so in that case we're using mine as a noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

How do we know it's acting like a noun?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Because we can use it independently of the word book.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So if someone says to me, "David, where is your book?"발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I can say, "Mine is on the bedside table."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Nowhere in this sentence does the word book appear, but we can use mine independently because we've established in a previous sentence that the thing we're talking about is this book.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So let's talk about my coworker Girish. Nice fella.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And let's say that Girish has a very nice hat.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

"We would say, That is Garish's hat."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is what we'd call a possessive noun.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But talking of Garish again, we could say, "That is his hat."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now we're using that possessive pronoun as an adjective to modify hat.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Whose hat is it?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It is his hat.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

If we wanted to use the personal pronoun that acted like a noun, we would say, "That hat is his."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And we can also use his independently of the word hat by saying, "His is the hat with polka dots."발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So we've got two piles of possessive pronouns here.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And one pile behaves like adjectives: my, our, your, her, his, its, their, and the other behaves like nouns: mine, ours, yours, hers, his, its, theirs.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And remember, none of them contain an apostrophe.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You can learn anything. David out.발음듣기
