In these sentences, possessive pronouns are used to indicate possession or ownership. Possessive pronouns are used instead of nouns to show that something belongs to someone. In English, the most common possessive pronouns are "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," and "theirs." These pronouns can be used to replace nouns in sentences where possession is being discussed.

In the first sentence, the possessive pronoun "my" is used to indicate that the fountain pen belongs to the speaker. The possessive pronoun "yours" is used to ask if the person being spoken to can lend their fountain pen.

In the second sentence, the possessive pronoun "ours" is used to indicate that the speaker and the person being spoken to can lend their dictionaries to the people who have none.

In the third sentence, the possessive pronoun "their" is used to indicate that the children had their own tea. The possessive pronoun "hers" is used to indicate that Kate was late for her own tea. The possessive pronoun "theirs" is used to indicate that Mary and Paul were having their own tea.

In the fourth sentence, the possessive pronoun "their" is used to indicate that they have a garden of their own.
