The possessive adjective in English has the following forms:
My
Your
His/her/its
Our
Your
Their
The form "its" is used when the possessor is an object or an animal, but sometimes when you feel special affection for the animal uses the masculine form "his" or feminine "her".
This is its necklace *This is your collar
This is his necklace *This is your collar (dog)
This is her necklace *This is your collar (the dog)
The possessive adjective varies depending on the holder (1st, 2nd or 3rd person singular or plural), but unlike Castilian, does not agree in number with the object possessed:
This is my son
This is my daughter
They are my brothers
They are my sisters
The possessive pronoun replaces the noun and adjective accompanying possessive when this noun has already been mentioned above, or when the context is well defined:
Mine
Yours
His/hers
Ours
Yours
Theirs
