Utilizamos los pronombres para referirnos a la posesión y la "pertenencia". Hay dos tipos: pronombres posesivos y determinantes posesivos:
- Utilizamos determinantes posesivos (también llamados adjetivos posesivos) antes de un sustantivo.
- También se utilizan pronombres posesivos en lugar de un sustantivo.
