What is the Difference Between Possessive Pronouns and Possessive Adjectives?

If you can remember the difference between a personal pronoun and a common adjective, then you can understand the difference between a possessive pronoun and possessive adjective. It’s fairly simple: A pronoun replaces a noun while an adjective describes a noun.

Possessive Pronoun: That is hers.

Possessive Adjective: That is her bike.

Notice that “hers” in the first sentence replaces the word “bike” (and therefore functions as a possessive pronoun), whereas the word “her” in the second sentence describes the word “bike” (and therefore functions as a possessive adjective). See the difference?
