Answer:  Possessive nouns have function as adjectives

Explanation:

Possessive nouns are showing ownership and they have an apostrophe or  ''s'', or both. For example: Today's weather, Mary's book, Dog's food, Owls' eyes.

Because of that, they function as adjectives but they are still possessive nouns.

''I can't find Mary's book.''  

<em>Mary's</em> is a possessive noun ( because it's telling us that the book is Mary's) and <em>Mary's</em> is functioning as an adjective and modifying the noun <em>book</em>.

Examples for possessive adjectives:  This is <u><em>our</em></u> house.  

                                                               Hey, that's <em><u>my</u></em> phone.

Possessive adjectives list: your, my, his, her, its, our, their. Possessive adjectives can replace noun to show ownership of something.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>No, possessive nouns cannot be used as adjectives.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Possessive noun shows the ownership and possessive adjective defines and modifies the noun to show the ownership. Possessive adjectives are not formed by adding apostrophe + s to possessive noun.

Possessive adjectives are my, your ,his, her, its, our, their. The possessive pronouns that replace the noun are: mine, yours, hers, his, its.

<em>For example: his head is big. (His is possessive adjective)</em>

<em>That money is ours. (Ours is possessive pronoun)</em>
