Possessive Pronouns
|
Dear colleagues,
I �m going to teach �possessive pronouns � in a couple of days and I was looking for some worksheet here as usual. What I �d like to know is that in some books it is written that �it � hasn �t got the possesive pronoun form (and this is what I �ve taught so far in my career) but here in some worksheet this isn �t the case. I �d really be grateful if a native speaker could help. Thanks in advance and enjoy your Sunday evening...

What about "Oxford and its university"? Though, it �s actually a possessive ADJECTIVE, not a possessive PRONOUN. I can hardly imagine anybody say "This bowl is its" (say, about a cat). At the same time, "the cat and its bowl" sounds OK. |

Its is the possessive form of it. The dog hurt its leg. Nowadays, they are called possessive adjectives.
