Possessive Pronouns and Adjectives

In this video, we discuss Subject and Possessive Pronouns, as well as how to use Possessive Adjectives.
We can replace, for example, a name with a pronoun for subjects (ie: Matt → He) or objects (ie: Mark → him). We can also replace a possessive (ie: Matt's → his).
For example:
Matt takes Mark's pen.
Who took Mark's pen?
Matt took it. (Mark's pen = it)
What did Matt take?
He took Mark's pen. (He = Matt)
Did Matt take Mark's pen?
Yes, he took it. (He = Matt and it = Mark's pen)

Sir, the way you have explained the difference between possessive adjectives & possessive pronouns is the best way I got. So, I would like to thank you for this lovely video.

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

Thank you so much :)

[@melodic_ocean]

I finally got it. The possessive pronouns are at the end of the sentences. Thank you very much. I was struggling with this for the last 6 months.

You are good teacher!! I'm don't speak English but I understood what speaking about you. Also your voice very pleasant.

[@GrianaRizky]

Hello sir, I have a question. So I read that Possessive Pronoun has two types, Dependent and Independent. And the one you mentioned in this video is Independent. So I'm wondering, what's the difference between the Dependent Possessive Pronoun and Possessive Adjective?

Smart teaching

That's so kind of you. I'm watching you from Ghana.

Hi, this is a really good video, but i have a question. How can we differentiate between its and its in the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun, and how can we put them in a sentence? I hope you answer😊

[@user-od5ps1ug3p]

How do possessive nouns work at the end of sentences? Like, what’s the rule for “The backpack is hers”

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

Your example is perfect, Daniela! This is our video. This video is ours! This is my pen. This pen is mine! This ______ is _________.

[@readenta]

[@ehiemerevictor2434]

I want to know which of these is correct and the reason for your answer: 1) I am a friend of Matthew. 2) I am a friend of Matthew's.

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

I am Matthew’s friend. I’m a friend of Matthew’s. Both ways are okay 👍 If you say “I’m a friend of” use (‘s) after the name

[@amiraboutalebi894]

[@noreali4718]

[@AmezAras-tk6oy]

Thank you so much for your this video i understood it but i have a question a bout it please please please answer me you said in possessive adjective we have to put a noun after them but in possessive pronouns we do not have to put a noun after them because pronoun is a word that replaces a noun but how can we know its in the sentences is possessive pronoun or possessive adjective because you said in its we have to put a noun always it is its ball. what is (its) in this sentence it is possessive pronoun or possessive adjective? what should we say?

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

• Possessive adjective: “Its” in “It is its ball” (modifies the noun “ball”). • Possessive pronoun: “Its” would stand alone, like “This ball is its” (which is not standard usage because “its” as a possessive pronoun is rarely used without a noun).

[@yairdelacruz9505]

[@isaacflores9331]

I have a question... In the case that we have for example, plural things, (whose shoes are these), how can i answer?

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

You can say: These are my shoes. Or These are mine? Mine = my shoes Hope that helps :)

[@user-nz1bl4id5v]

I got it

[@ankitabose7603]

If adjective always followed by Noun ? Be it possessive/demonstrative/quality/quality/interrogative ?

[@TeachersMarkandMatt]

An adjective can come before a noun or after a BE verb -> He is a happy man. There are three happy men. Is the man happy? Who is happy? The man is happy. These three men are happy.

[@phumkiatwananuraksakul7815]

You should call Matt's pen is possessive noun determiner or adjective and call Matt's without a noun possessive noun .This must be perfect explanation being same as pronoun case . No one understands like me even native speaker.
