English possessiveIn English, possessive words or phrases exist for nouns and most pronouns, as well as some noun phrases. These can play the roles of determiners (also called possessive adjectives when corresponding to a pronoun) or of nouns. For nouns, noun phrases, and some pronouns, the possessive is generally formed with the suffix -s, but in some cases just with the addition of an apostrophe to an existing s. This form is sometimes called the Saxon genitive, reflecting the suffix's derivation from Old English.
TheyIn Modern English, they is a third-person pronoun relating to a grammatical subject. In Standard Modern English, they has five distinct word forms: they: the nominative (subjective) form them: the accusative (objective, called the 'oblique'.) and a non-standard determinative form. their: the dependent genitive (possessive) form theirs: independent genitive form themselves: prototypical reflexive form themself: derivative reflexive form (nonstandard; now chiefly used instead of "himself or herself" as a reflexive epicenity for they in pronominal reference to a singular referent) Old English had a single third-person pronoun hē, which had both singular and plural forms, and they wasn't among them.
Déterminant possessif en françaisEn grammaire française un déterminant possessif, anciennement dénommé adjectif possessif est une sous-catégorie de déterminant défini, ajoutant à l'actualisation du nom noyau, une idée de possession, de propriété, ou plus simplement, de contiguïté habituelle, en relation avec une personne grammaticale (première, deuxième ou troisième, du singulier ou du pluriel). Dans la catégorie des pronoms, le correspondant de l'adjectif possessif est le pronom possessif.
PossessiveA possessive or ktetic form (abbreviated or ; from possessivus; κτητικός) is a word or grammatical construction indicating a relationship of possession in a broad sense. This can include strict ownership, or a number of other types of relation to a greater or lesser degree analogous to it. Most European languages feature possessive forms associated with personal pronouns, like the English my, mine, your, yours, his and so on. There are two main ways in which these can be used (and a variety of terminologies for each): Together with a noun, as in my car, your sisters, his boss.
PronomEn grammaire française, le pronom est un mot-outil variable dont le rôle principal est de se substituer à un élément quelconque, linguistique ou non. Le pronom est donc avant tout un représentant. Étymologiquement, pronom signifie mis pour le nom (le préfixe pro- a le sens de à la place de). C'est-à-dire que le pronom remplace un nom, auquel il se rapporte. Par ailleurs, le pronom peut parfois être le noyau d'un syntagme (appelé syntagme pronominal) : Nous avons vu de vraiment intéressant.
