Using Possessive Pronouns

Adult•40 minutes•CCSS L.6.1.c

Learning Objective

I can use possessive pronouns correctly in sentences.

A possessive pronoun replaces a possessive adjective + noun to avoid repeating information that is already clear.

Possessive pronouns have only one form, and it doesn't matter if they refer to one thing or more things.

The possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs, but there is no possessive pronoun for it.
