所有格代名詞 (Possessive Pronouns)

所有格代名詞是用來代替人稱代名詞的所有格及其所修飾的名詞

Your car is new, but mine is old.

你的車是新的,但我的是老舊的。

mine = my car, mine 代替人稱代名詞的所有格 my 及其所修飾的名詞 car。

Hers is only one voice among many, but it will be heard.

她的聲音是眾多聲音中的一個,但它會被聽到。

Hers = Her voice, 她的聲音詞;it = her voice。

下面表格同時列出人稱代名詞與所有格代名詞。最右邊一欄是所有格代名詞。

人稱代名詞及相對應的"所有格代名詞"
人稱主格受格所有格所有格代名詞
第一人稱單數陽性/陰性Imemymine
複數陽性/陰性weusourours
第二人稱單數陽性/陰性youyouyouryours
複數陽性/陰性youyouyouryours
第三人稱單數陽性hehimhishis
陰性sheherherhers
中性/無性itititsits
複數陽性/陰性/中性/無性theythemtheirtheirs

請注意:最右邊一欄的所有格代名詞都不帶有「撇號」(apostrophe 『'』),不像一般名詞加 『's』 來表示所有格: "my uncle's car", "Mr. Chen's house"

所有格代名詞在數(mine 單數, ours 複數)、性(his 陽性, hers 陰性)、身(mine, yours, his, hers)方面要與先行詞一致。

My flowers are dying. Hers are lovely.

我的花正在凋謝。她的花很可愛。

Hers 當主詞,表示複數的先行詞 Her flowers。

Jerry found his backpack, but Sarah couldn't find hers.

Jerry 找到他的背包,但 Sarah 找不到她的。

hers 當受詞,表示單數的先行詞 her backpack。

從上面兩個例子,我們觀察到:

所有格代名詞可以是主詞,也可以是受詞。這表示所有格代名詞主格與受格同形

所有格代名詞可以代替單數或複數的先行詞。這表示所有格代名詞單、複數同形

人稱代名詞的所有格(my, our, her)後面一定要有名詞,所有格代名詞(mine, ours, hers)後面則不能再有名詞。

my bookmine
your penyours
his parentshis
her doghers
its fateits
our houseours
their cartheirs

Her backpack is red, but mine is black.

她的背包是紅色的,但我的是黑色的。

所有格代名詞 mine 代替名詞 backpack,並表示我所擁有的, mine = my backpack。

yours = your book

你的書還是他的書?要用所有格代名詞。his 是所有格形容詞也是所有格代名詞; your 是所有格形容詞, yours 才是所有格代名詞。

ours = our house

Tony: Will you go to Cindy's party tonight?
Jane: No, I have to do my homework. Don't you have _______?

Its 作為所有格代名詞

Its 作為所有格代名詞非常罕見。試舉二例說明之。

Each team tried to show that its was the best strategy.

每一個團隊試著證明他們的策略是最好的。

its = its strategy, its 是所有格代名詞

His dog lived for 13 years. Its wasn't a terrible life.

他的狗活了13年。牠的一生並沒有那麼糟糕。

Its = Its life, Its 是所有格代名詞,此句與下一句意思相同。

His dog lived for 13 years. Its life wasn't a terrible one.

這一句的 Its 是所有格形容詞,而句子最後的代名詞 one 代替先前提及的名詞 life。

在「所有格形容詞」與「名詞」中間插入 own 的用法

所有格形容詞 + own + 名詞

當他家搬入了新房子時,Frank 就有他自己的房間了。
