Check Out the Possessive Forms As you study the tables above, a question should form in your mind. Why does the possessive case have two forms? A pronoun in the possessive case can appear in two different ways in a sentence.

1st, 2nd 3rd person singular and plural

Like the possessive noun, it can appear right before the word it modifies. We can say the same thing by using the third-person, possessive, feminine pronoun like this: Her house is on the corner. Here the possessive pronoun her also stands in the attributive position. Here the possessive noun stands in the predicative position; it is linked to the word it modifies house by a linking verb is.

Recognizing this little twist, the Pronoun Committee came up with a predicative form of the possessive pronoun enabling us to say the same thing: The house on the corner is hers. Thus: This is my house. This house is mine.
