Possessive Pronouns

A possessive pronoun is a part of speech that substitutes for a possessive adjective and a noun.
There are seven possessive pronouns in modern English: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs.
This book is mine means this is my book.

  7. Linda, good examples but remember "Foods" can be used when referring to different kinds of things, but it is a much less common usage.

    There are some words in the English language that are "uncountable" - in order to count them, you have to use a "counter". Food is one of them. Water, juice, wood, air are others.

    In order to count these things (and make them singular or plural), they either have to be grouped into some countable "container" (baskets of food, glasses of water or juice, canisters of compressed air etc.), or you can use the words "some", "much" to describe them.

    The way to find uncountable nouns is to see if you can "count" them without any other "container" between the number and the item:

    "One cake"
    "Two Cakes" - this word is countable

    "One wood"
    "two woods" - not really. It would be better to say "One piece of wood". This word is uncountable
