Understanding Possessive Pronouns

The document discusses possessive pronouns and provides examples of their use. Possessive pronouns are used to avoid repeating information that is already clear from context. For example, saying "John lent me his car" rather than "John lent me John's car". A table lists subject pronouns and their corresponding possessive pronouns. Exercises provide additional examples asking to identify the correct possessive pronoun in different contexts.
