1. 英语中的物主代词有形容词型和名词型两种,见下表:

2. 形容词型物主代词只能用作定语,而名词型物主代词可用作主语、宾语和表语,如:

lend me yours?
3. 名词型物主代词可与of连用,构成双重所有格,如:
She is a friend of mine.
4.形容词型物主代词his,her,their等在人称、性、数上要和它们所指代的名词一致。如果不能判断句中名词的属性,一般用his,如:
Every girl is doing her best.
Each teacher has his own teaching
method.
5. 集合名词作整体看待时用its(或his,her)指代,作个体看待时用their取代,如:
The Smiths could not agree on where to spend their
vacation.
The public expressed its concern
about the flood.
