Three Forms Subject Object Possessive

Possessive Singular: my, mine, your, yours, her, hers, his, its Plural: our, ours, your, yours, their, theirs Ex.: Where is his book? Ex.: That is my choice.

Possessives and Contractions Beware! Many people confuse the possessive forms of some pronouns with the contractions they resemble. Pairs often confused include: its and it’s, your and you’re, & their and they’re. Remember: the possessive pronouns DO NOT have apostrophes! The dog lost its tags. VS. It’s raining again. The twins rode their bikes. VS. They’re riding bikes.
