=**Possessive Adj. & Pro**= Possessive adjectives and pronouns are used to show possession. They must match in number and gender to the word they are describing or taking the place over. The use of possessive pronouns and adjectives helps create fluidity in sentences and avoid unnecessary repetition.

An **adjective** describes a noun. A **pronoun** takes the place of a noun.
