A pronoun is used in place of a noun. It refers to a noun. The noun it refers to is called the antecedent. Examples :

1. I read the book. It was good.

(The pronoun “it” refers to the antecedent noun “book”.)

2. Mary said, ”I drink tea”.

(The pronoun “I” refers to the speaker, whose name is Mary.)

Possessive pronouns are not followed immediately by a noun; they stand alone. Example : That book is mine. Those are yours over there.*

Possessive adjectives are followed immediately by a noun; they don’t stand alone. Example : My  book is here. Your books are over there.

*Possessive nouns require apostrophes; Example, That book is Safarina’s.

Possessive pronouns do NOT take apostrophes.

ð  CORRECT        : That book is hers, and those books are theirs.

INCORRECT          : That book is her’s, and those books are their’s
