Explain the concept of possessive pronouns.

Possessive pronouns are pronouns that show ownership or possession. They are used to replace nouns and indicate that something belongs to someone or something. Examples of possessive pronouns include "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," and "theirs." These pronouns do not require an apostrophe to show possession, unlike possessive nouns.
