This helps to differentiate between possessive adjectives (e.g., my, your ), which some classify as pronouns, and possessive pronouns (e.g., mine, yours ). Here is a list of personal pronouns with their corresponding possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns, i.e., their possessive forms. Personal Pronoun. To choose the correct possessive determiners and possessive pronouns in Portuguese, you can start by (1) choosing the form that goes with the person possessing something, and then (2) modifying that word to match the gender and number of the noun. o meu / a minha / os meus / as minhas. o teu / a tua / os teus / as tuas. A Spanish possessive pronoun ( pronombre posesivo ), such as mío or suyo, is used in place of a noun and a possessive adjective. Each Spanish possessive pronoun has four forms that must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the noun in the phrase they replace. These pronouns are the same as the long forms Possessive pronouns vs. determiners. Possessive pronouns and possessive determiners are closely related and sometimes identical in spelling, but they play different grammatical roles. Possessive pronouns always stand on their own, not modifying a noun but replacing one. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. Possessive pronouns replace the noun - they stand instead of the noun, so they are not used with a noun. possessive adjective + noun → possessive pronoun. This is my house. → This is mine. It's your tea. → It's yours. RInNT.
