Can you match these possessive adjectives to the right personal pronouns?

its, your, my, their, our, her, his

We use possessive adjectives:

• to show something belongs to somebody:

That’s our house.
My car is very old.

• for relations and friends:

My mother is a doctor.
How old is your sister?

• for parts of the body:

He’s broken his arm.
She’s washing her hair.
I need to clean my teeth.

ubject	Object	Possessive adjectives
I	me	my
You	you	your
He	him	his
She	her	her
It	it	its
We	us	our
They	them	their

We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a noun phrase:

Is that John’s car?	No, it’s [~~my car~~]	>	No, it’s mine.
Whose coat is this?	Is it [~~your coat~~]?	>	Is it yours?
Her coat is grey, [~~my coat~~]is brown	Her coat is grey,		mine is brown.

We can use possessive pronouns after of.

We can say:

Susan is one of my friends.
or
Susan is a friend of mine.
but not
~~Susan is a friend of me~~

I am one of Susan's friends.
or
I am a friend of Susan's.
but not
~~I am a friend of Susan~~
