Question

Как определить, когда в предложении надо ставить прилагательное или местоимение: her или hers, our или ours и т. д.?

Answer 1

На пример: That book is not mine. It is hers. (Эта книга не моя. Она её.) - hers стоит потому что после нет существительного. Hers как бы включает в себя слово "книга".

Answer 2

Understanding When to Use Adjectives or Pronouns

In English, the choice between using a possessive adjective (like "her," "our," etc.) and a possessive pronoun (like "hers," "ours," etc.) depends on the role of the word in the sentence. Here's a detailed explanation:

Possessive Adjectives and Pronouns: - Possessive Adjectives: These are used to describe a noun and show that something belongs to someone. For example, "her," "our," "my," etc. - Possessive Pronouns: These stand alone and replace a noun. For example, "hers," "ours," "mine," etc.

Examples and Usage:

1. Possessive Adjectives: - Example: "Her book is on the table." - Here, "her" is describing the noun "book."

2. Possessive Pronouns: - Example: "The book is hers." - Here, "hers" is standing alone and replacing the noun.
