（15）所有格形容词（Possessive adjectives）

人称代词的所有格的两种用法：

1. 放在名词之前作为形容词用者，如 my、（thy）、his、her、its、our、your、their；My book、her book、our books。

2. 作为代词用者，如 mine、（thine）、his、hers、its、ours、yours、theirs（既系代词，故其后不用名词）。

例：a. This book is mine. That house is theirs.

b. My horse and yours（= your horse）are both tired.

c. That horse of yours is tired.

注意：所有格不能与 a（n）、the、some、any、no、this、that 等词连用，故有（c）例的表现法，因 That your horse 不是英语的语法，必须将所有格放在名词之后，而用 of 与名词相联结，但此时的所有格，系一种代词了。
