Grammar Term:
Possessive Article
Possessive articles are indicate possession.
English examples are “my”, “your” or “her”.
The difference to possessive pronouns is that articles cannot stand alone.
article:
- This is my bike.
- This is my. WRONG
pronoun:
- This is mine bike. WRONG
- This is mine.
In German, they of course get different endings depending on case and gender, so you have more “options” there.
And we all like options, right ;)?
I’ll add a table here soon!
