Chapter 5: COMPARATIVE EXPRESSIONS WITH POSSESIVE PRONOUNS

• Possesive pronouns are nouns that indicate possesion. Unlike possesive adjectives, they are used alone without a noun following.

      POSSESIVE                         POSSESIVE
      ADJ. + NOUN                    PRONOUN
     
      My dog                               mine
      His novel                             his
      Her pronunciation                 hers
      Our apartment                     ours
      Your computer                     yours
      Their house                         theirs

• To emphasize a comparison, much is placed before the comparative.

       EX:     Yours is much friendlier than mine.
                (Your dog is much friendlier than mine.)

                Ours are much more interesting than his.
                (Our books are much more interesting than his.)
