Use possessive pronouns
Key Notes:
✨ Possessive Pronouns ✨
Possessive pronouns show ownership or possession. They tell us who something belongs to.
| 🌟 Common Possessive Pronouns |

- ❌ Wrong: This is Raju’s.
- ✅ Right: This is his.
2. They do not need an apostrophe
- ❌ Wrong: This is her’s.
- ✅ Right: This is hers.
3. Use them to avoid repetition
