Pronoun Genitive or Possessive Case
“ My vision of a real humanity is of pure individuals relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship. They will be loving to each other, but not being possessive of each other. They will be sharing with each other all their joys and all their blessings, but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating, thinking of enslaving the other person.” - Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh quotes
Genitive - Of, relating to, or being the grammatical case expressing possession, measurement, or source.
Possessive - indicating possession, ownership, origin, etc.
Two sets of pronouns are the genitive case:
- my, our, your, her, his, its, their, whose
- mine, ours, yours, hers, his, its, theirs, whose
Set one acts as noun modifiers called possessives. My book.
The second set acts as nominals. This is mine.
