Help me

Can anybody here I can help me with the question:  what is the difference possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns?

Thanks!!!


OK - I actually had to look this one up on Wikipedia - way more information than you need.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possessive_pronoun

The possesive adjectives are used with a noun -  my, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose

 It is my book.  That is his cat.  Whose house is that?  

The possesive pronouns stand alone - mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs, whose

It is mine.  That isn't hers.  Whose is it?
