Hi...
Here is your answer ...
A possessive pronoun is a part of speech that attributes ownership to someone or something. Like any other pronoun, it substitutes a noun phrase and can prevent its repetition. For example, in the phrase, "These glasses are mine, not yours", the words "mine" and "yours" are possessive pronouns and stand for "my glasses" and "your glasses," respectively.
Possessive adjectives - my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their - modify the noun following it in order to show possession.
Examples:
I'll get my bag, Is this your luggage?
Your answers:-
2. hers - possessive pronoun (PP)
her - possesive adjective (PA)
3. your-PA
yours - PP
Hope you can solve the rest by yourself....
