What is the difference between Possessive Adjectives and Personal Pronouns?

<p dir="ltr">Possessive Adjectives, also called Pronominal Adjectives (as they are derived from Pronouns) are the Personal Pronouns “my”, “our”, “your”, “his”, “her” and “their” when used with a noun. In all other cases, these nouns remain and function like Personal Pronouns only. For example:</p><div dir="ltr" align="left"><table><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="2"><p dir="ltr">Difference between Personal Pronouns and Pronominal/Possessive Adjectives</p></th></tr><tr><th><p dir="ltr">Examples of Possessive Adjectives</p></th><th><p dir="ltr">Examples of Possessive Personal Pronouns</p></th></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">This is her pen.</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">This pen is hers.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">These are your pens.&nbsp;</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">These pens are yours.&nbsp;</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">That is my book.</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">That book is mine.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p dir="ltr">This is my hockey.</p></td><td><p dir="ltr">This idea of yours is excellent.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
