  • Hi, everybody and welcome.

  • In this video, we're going to learn about possessive pronouns.

  • Okay.

  • And we use possessive pronouns to show that something belongs to us

  • or something is owned by us.

  • Okay, or someone else.

  • So, let's take a look at the board.

  • Now, last time we learned about subjective pronouns.

  • And here they are.

  • Okay.

  • And in another video, we talked about possessive adjectives.

  • And here they are.

  • Okay.

  • And over here are the possessive pronouns that we're going to talk about in this video.

  • Now, possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns are the same.

  • They show possession.

  • Which means, I own something.

  • Something belongs to meor to someone else.

  • Okay.

  • The only difference is that they're used a little differently.

  • For possessive adjectives, you have to put a noun after.

  • Okay.

  • My dog.”

  • Okay.

  • But for possessive pronouns, you don't have to put a noun after it.

  • Okay, you can just saymine”.

  • Okay.

  • So let's go through each one.

  • My"

  • "Mine

  • Okay.

  • And this is the same.

  • His"

  • "His

  • Okay.

  • For 'her', we sayhers”.

  • We add an 's'.

  • Hers

  • Its"

  • "Its

  • Again, it's the same.

  • Your"

  • "Yours

  • We have to put an 's'.

  • Yours

  • Our"

  • "OursandTheir"

  • "Theirs

  • Okay, again, I know that this can be really confusing, but let's practice some more.

  • Okay.

  • And let's move on to the next part.

  • Okay, let's practice together.

  • Now, “This is my marker.”

  • But with possessive pronouns, you do not have to put a noun after.

  • Okay, so I can say, “This is mine.”

  • This isn't yours.”

  • This is mine.”

  • Okay, let's look at the board.

  • This boy has a hat.

  • So we say, “This is his.”

  • This isn't mine.”

  • This isn't yours.”

  • This is his.”

  • The girl has a dress.

  • This is hers.”

  • This isn't mine.”

  • This isn't yours.”

  • This is hers.”

  • Okay.

  • Now with 'its', it's kind of different.

  • Okay.

  • You still have to put a noun,

  • so you can't say, “This is its.”

  • You have to say, “This is its ball.”

  • Again, “This is its ball.”

  • This isn't mine.”

  • This isn't yours.”

  • This is its ball.”

  • Okay.

  • Now we have two people who have a house.

  • This is theirs.”

  • This isn't mine.”

  • This isn't yours.”

  • This is theirs.”

  • Okay.

  • Now over here, we have some books and we're going to say that they belong to these two people.

  • Okay.

  • So we're going to use the plural 'be' verb; 'are'.

  • Okay.

  • These are theirs.”

  • These aren't mine.”

  • These aren't yours.”

  • These are theirs.”

  • Okay.

  • And last, we have a picture of Korea.

  • Okay.

  • This is ours.”

  • This is ours.”

  • Okay, let's move on to the next part.

  • Okay, let's look at these examples.

  • We have to put in some possessive pronouns.

  • Okay.

  • That lipstick is _____.”

  • Okay, well we have the noun 'lipstick' and usually a girl or woman wears lipstick,

  • so we're going to use the possessive pronoun 'hers'.

  • Okay.

  • That lipstick is hers.”

  • Okay.

  • The next sentence.

  • That sports car is _____.”

  • Okay.

  • Again, usually a man will drive a sports car.

  • So, we can say, “That sports car is his.”

  • Okay.

  • Now, let's look at these last two.

  • This money is mine, not yours.”

  • This money is mine; it belongs to me.”

  • It doesn't belong to you.”

  • Not yours.

  • Okay.

  • And the last one.

  • Dokdo is ours.”

  • It's Koreas.

  • Right

  • Not theirs.”

  • Not Japan's.

  • It belongs to us.”

  • So we say, “It's ours.”

  • Okay, so in this video, we learned possessive pronouns.

  • I hope you understand, and I'll see you in the next video.

  • Bye.
