Yes, it is his book.
Yes, it is your book.
Yes, it is my book.
Yes, it is mine book.
Because you are referring to yourself, the possessive adjective 'my' correctly indicates ownership. 'Mine' is a pronoun and not used before a noun.
You have a pencil. How do you respond affirmatively to confirm it is yours using a possessive adjective?
Yes, it is our pencil.
Yes, it is her pencil.
Yes, it is mine pencil.
Yes, it is my pencil.
The correct possessive adjective to describe something that belongs to you is 'my'. The other options are either grammatically incorrect or refer to a different possessor.
When someone asks if the hat is yours, which answer correctly uses a possessive adjective?
Yes, it is his hat.
Yes, it is my hat.
Yes, it is yours hat.
Yes, it is the hat.
Using 'my' is correct when referring to your own belongings. The other options either misuse possessive forms or do not indicate ownership properly.
Affirmatively, how would you answer if you were asked if the bike is yours?
Yes, it is his bike.
Yes, it is your bike.
Yes, it is my bike.
Yes, it is mine bike.
The phrase 'my bike' correctly affirms that the bike belongs to you. Other options either use an incorrect possessive form or refer to someone else.

Yes, it is my lunchbox.
Yes, it is mine lunchbox.
Yes, it is his lunchbox.

Yes, it is their soccer ball.
Yes, it is your soccer ball.
Yes, it is his soccer ball.

Since the ball belongs to a male friend, the possessive adjective 'his' is the correct choice. It directly attributes the soccer ball to him, while the other options imply incorrect ownership.
When confirming that a book belongs to your teacher, which affirmative response correctly uses a possessive adjective?
Yes, it is her book.
Yes, it is your book.
Yes, it is my book.

Yes, it is our project.
Yes, it is my project.

Yes, it is his pen.
Yes, it is your pen.
Yes, it is my pen.

If you and your classmates jointly own a library book for a group project, which affirmative statement uses the appropriate possessive adjective?
Yes, it is your book.
Yes, it is my book.

Because the book is owned collectively by you and your classmates, 'our' is the proper possessive adjective to show group ownership. This clearly conveys shared responsibility.
When confirming that a bicycle belongs solely to John, which affirmative response is correct?
Yes, it is his bicycle.
Yes, it is our bicycle.
Yes, it is her bicycle.
Yes, it is your bicycle.
The possessive adjective 'his' properly indicates that the bicycle belongs solely to John. The other options either imply incorrect gender or collective ownership.

Quiz: Use Correct Possessive Adjectives Cheat Sheet

  1. Show ownership with possessive adjectives - Possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) are always placed before a noun to indicate who owns or relates to something. They make your sentences clear and personal. Grammar Bank Guide
  2. Match adjectives to their subjects - Ensure your possessive adjectives agree in number and gender with the subject you're describing. For example, "She lost her keys" uses "her" to match the singular female subject. Vedantu Explanation
  3. Differentiate from possessive pronouns - Possessive adjectives modify a noun ("This is her book"), whereas possessive pronouns replace it ("This book is hers"). Mixing them up can change your sentence's structure and meaning. Vedantu: Adjectives vs Pronouns
  4. No apostrophes needed - Unlike contractions, possessive adjectives never use apostrophes. "The cat licked its paw" is correct, while "it's paw" would incorrectly read as "it is paw". PushToLearn Exercise
  5. Practice makes perfect - Write sentences using each possessive adjective to build confidence. Try describing your surroundings: "Our house has its own garden." Regular practice cements the rules in your memory. Vedantu Practice
  6. Spot the its vs it's trap - "Its" is possessive ("The dog wagged its tail"), while "it's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has" ("It's raining"). Mastering this distinction keeps your writing sharp. Grammar.CL Tutorial
  7. Apply to singular and plural subjects - Possessive adjectives remain the same even when referring to multiple items: "These are their books." Consistency helps avoid confusion. Test-English Practice
  8. Clarify ownership - Use possessive adjectives to ensure your audience knows exactly who owns what. "Her brother is a doctor" leaves no doubt about whose brother you're talking about. Vedantu Ownership Guide
  9. Avoid pronoun mix‑ups - Don't slip into subject pronouns when you need a possessive adjective. "This is her book" is correct; "This is she book" is a common but incorrect slip. PushToLearn Tips
  10. Test yourself with quizzes - Engage in exercises and quizzes to reinforce your understanding of possessive adjectives. Filling in the blanks and timed challenges help you internalize the rules. EnglishGrammar.org Worksheet
