Possessive Adjectives.
A possessive is a word or grammatical construction that indicates a relationship of belonging, in a broad sense. A related term is that of the genitive case.
The possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and whose. A possessive adjective sits before a noun (or a pronoun) to show who or what owns it.

NOTE: If you're unsure whether to use its/it's, your/you're, their/they're or whose/who's, expand it to the full version (i.e., it is or it has, you are, they are, or who is or who has). If your sentence doesn't make sense, you should be using the first one, i.e., the possessive adjective (the version without the apostrophe).
