Question: 1 / 400

What term is used for pronouns that show ownership?

Indefinite pronouns

Personal pronouns

Possessive pronouns

The term that refers to pronouns indicating ownership is possessive pronouns. These pronouns are used to demonstrate that something belongs to someone, highlighting the possession aspect. Examples of possessive pronouns include "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their."

In contrast, other types of pronouns serve different purposes. Indefinite pronouns refer to non-specific items or people, such as "someone," "anyone," or "several." Personal pronouns represent specific individuals or groups, like "I," "you," "he," "she," "we," and "they." Reflexive pronouns, such as "myself," "yourself," or "themselves," are used when the subject and the object of the verb refer to the same entity. Each of these serves a unique function in language, but it is the possessive pronouns that specifically denote ownership.
