Possessive Pronouns: Rules and Examples

· Grammar

Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone. The possessive pronouns are my, our, your, his, her, its, and their. There’s also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.

Possessive pronouns simplify constructions that show possession of a noun.

Jane takes pride in Jane’s outfits.

It sounds odd to use Jane’s name twice in this sentence. A possessive pronoun solves the problem:

Jane takes pride in her outfits.

Thus, possessive pronouns are quite handy and are used frequently in the English language.

Write an argument against the motion "Students should not play politics".

Oxana [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

"Students should not play politics" is a tone-deaf argument used by gatekeeping politicians who shut their doors to the struggling youth. For how many years have students complained about their schooling system, only to be turned down due to a lack of funds? When students try to participate in shaping the world, their world, they're treated like children. Students are expected to attend school full-time without being paid or publicly acknowledged. "Students should not play politics" holds little ground and defense for those who use it. What if a student is studying politics? Shouldn't they be able to use their expertise to contribute to political conversations? All inclusivity issues aside, politics will eventually become outdated if the people who run it refuse to listen to students and the younger generations. Most politicians are old and their views are outdated... why not listen to the people next in line? In conclusion, "students should not play politics" is only a restrictive, weak argument at its very core.
