What type of noun is your?

Answer 1

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

The pronoun 'your' is a the second person, possessive adjective.

A possessive adjective takes the place of the noun (name) for the person spoken to and is placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to that person (or persons).

Examples:

Jack, your mother is on the phone.

Class, your essays are due on Monday.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

The nouns in the example sentences are:

Jack, Monday (proper nouns, the name of a specific person and a specific day)

mother, phone, class, essays (common nouns)

"Your" is a possessive pronoun when used to show ownership. For example, in the phrase "your dog," "your" indicates that the dog belongs to the person being addressed.
