Possessive Pronoun
Possessive pronoun adalah bentuk kata ganti noun yang merujuk pada ‘kepemilikan’ suatu hal maupun ide. Terdapat dua jenis possessive pronoun yaitu dependent dan independent possessive pronoun. Dependent possessive pronouns, juga biasa disebut possessive adjective, merupakan suatu modifier yang membutuhkan noun (kata benda) untuk dimodifikasi atau keberadaannya ‘bergantung’ pada kata noun sehingga selalu muncul sebelum noun. Sedangkan, independent possessive pronoun dapat berdiri sendiri karena tidak bergantung pada noun.
