Pronoun sebagai Possessive Adjective diletakkan didepan Noun (Kata Benda) untuk menunjukkan kepemilikan. Apabila  kita ingin menunjukkan milik tidak menggunakan kata ganti (pronoun) tetapi menggunakan nama atau kata benda, maka  digunakan apostrophe (tanda ‘) ditambah s dibelakang nama atau kata benda tersebut.
Tetapi jika benda tersebut plural dengan menambahkan “s”  cukup ditambah dengan tanda apostrophe (tanda ‘) saja.

Example:

Toni’s book (buku Toni)

Shinta’s book

My parents’ house

The children’s mother
