Understanding Possessive Adjectives and Pronouns

The video tutorial explains the difference between possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns. Possessive adjectives, such as 'my', 'our', and 'your', are used before nouns to indicate ownership. In contrast, possessive pronouns, like 'mine', 'ours', and 'yours', stand alone and do not precede a noun.
