1."my"(a)
'My' is a possessive adjective used before the noun 'family'. The possessive pronoun 'mine' cannot modify a noun directly.
2."her"(b)
'Her' is the possessive adjective for 'she', used before the noun 'homework'. 'Hers' is the possessive pronoun form and cannot be placed before a noun.
3."our"(c)
'Our' is the possessive adjective for 'we', used before the noun 'grandparents'. 'Ours' is the possessive pronoun form; 'us' and 'we' are object and subject pronouns.
4."his"(d)
'His' is the possessive adjective for 'Tom' (male), used before the noun 'keys'. 'Him' is the object pronoun and 'he' is the subject pronoun.
5."its"(a)
'Its' (no apostrophe) is the possessive adjective for 'it', used before the noun 'milk'. Be careful: 'it's' with an apostrophe means 'it is' or 'it has', not possession.
