1. Possessive adjective (kata sifat milik)
Berikut kata sifat milik dengan contoh kalimat. Perhatikan bahwa kata sifat milik ditempatkan sebelum kata benda.

Possessive Adjective My Your (singular) Her His Our Your (plural) Their Its

Contoh This is my book Your car looks great. Her watch is expensive. His house is on Chamber Street. Our dog is cute. Your friends are nice. This is their ball. The cat likes its food.

2. Possessive pronoun (kata ganti milik)

Possessive Pronoun Mine Yours (tunggal) Hers His Ours Yours (jamak) Theirs Its

Contoh This book is mine. That car  is yours. The expensive watch is hers. The house on Chamber Street is his. The cute dog is ours. Those friends are yours. This ball is theirs. –

Tidak ada kata ganti milik untuk its, jadi kita tidak bisa mengatakan “The book is its“. Kata ganti milik juga sering ditempatkan di akhir kalimat dan biasanya ditekankan. “This is my book” bisa memiliki makna yang cukup faktual, tetapi “This book is mine” lebih menekankan siapa pemilik buku itu.
