                Write each pronoun and tell whether it is personal or possessive. 
3. The ending of West Side Story is slightly different from the ending of the famous tragedy on which it is based.
4. Like Romeo and Juliet the modern play has a bitter feud and an unlikely romance at the center of its plot.

    Each sentence has one pronoun.  Can you see which pronoun in each sentence?  If you're not sure you can look a suspected word up in a dictionary.  I'll be glad to check your work.

    I've always objected to calling "its" a pronoun, as it is clearly being used as an adjective.
Too bad there's not a second form, as with
my - adjective
mine - pronoun

    Each pronoun has different cases (uses), but they are still pronouns:
I (nominative)
me (objective)
my, mine (possessive)
we (nominative)
us (objective)
our, ours (possessive)
it (nominative)
it (objective)
its (possessive)
And yes, possessives are always modifying/describing something else (a noun), just as adjectives do: my headache, our choices, its wing
