Possessive Nouns are often used as adjectives true or false

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>

I need help with dis.
Llana [10]

Answer:

Argumentative writing → An essay argues that light on the field would add to the quality of life in the community.

Claim → The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games.

Counterclaim → Some people think it is not worth the expense

Evidence → According to a poll, more than one third of the citizens approve the cost of adding lights to the soccer field

Reasoning → Our town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night.

Explanation:

I have been able to place each sentence to the correct term.

An essay that argues on a subject is usually classified to be argumentative writing. The statement claimed that "<em>The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games</em>". This is actually a claim. But an opposition to the claim is known as counterclaim. So, when "<em>Some people think it is not worth the expense</em>", then it is counterclaim.

Then an evidence was given which we see from the poll that was carried out. Evidence usually comes with facts and data which is what the poll provided.

The speaker actually reasoned or thought that their "<em>...town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night</em>". This is reasoning.
