There are 4 kinds of Pronouns Personal Pronouns Personal pronouns have a sub-category called possessive. Interrogative Pronouns Demonstrative Pronouns Indefinite Pronouns

PERSONAL PRONOUNS: I Me You He Him She Her It We Us They Them

PERSONALPOSESSIVE PRONOUNS: My Mine Your Yours His Her Hers Its Our Ours Their Theirs ****Note that there are no apostrophes used with possessive personal pronouns. This includes "its." Just as you would say "That is hers," you would say "Success is its own reward." It's stands for the contraction that represents "It is" or "It has." It's is NEVER possessive.
