Pronoun possession refers to the grammatical use of pronouns to indicate ownership or association, often replacing nouns to avoid repetition and enhance sentence clarity. These pronouns, known as possessive pronouns, can stand alone or modify nouns, varying in form to match the number and gender of the possessor and the possessed noun.
