prounouns and adjectives?

Question

can a pronoun be an adjective? like......"our" or "my"?

Answer 1

Our is an adjective. Ours is a pronoun.
My is an adjective.. Mine is a pronoun.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I understand what your asking......like if you were saying My Family is going to florida.......your asking if the word "MY" is an adjective the answer is no because My is a Pronoun because its replacing a persons name

instead of saying
Example...."Sara's family is out on vacation."
its your family so you would say
"My Family is on vacation."

Therefore your replacing MY with SARA which would make my a pronoun


I Hope this helps sorry its kinda long






PRONOUN-The part of speech that substitutes for nouns or noun phrases and designates persons or things asked for, previously specified, or understood from the context

ADJECTIVE-The part of speech that modifies a noun or other substantive by limiting, qualifying, or specifying and distinguished in English morphologically by one of several suffixes, such as -able, -ous, -er, and -est, or syntactically by position directly preceding a noun or nominal phrase.

Answer 3

What "Ace Librarian" said is correct because one is describing something and the other is not.

Pronouns CAN be used as adjectives, in fact, the textbook I use with my 9th grade English students has a section on using pronouns as adjectives.

Pronouns used as adjectives are called possessive pronouns and describe something by showing possession.

Examples: John went in MY car. ("my" is a pronoun, but it's describing "car" by telling you whose car it is, so it's functioning as an adjective in the sentence)

We played with his game. ("his" is a pronoun, but it's describing "game" by telling you whose game it is, so it's functioning as an adjective)
