Some traditional grammars of English refer to them as possessive adjectives, though they do not have the same syntactic distribution as bona fide adjectives. Examples in English include possessive forms of the personal pronouns, namely: ''my'', ''your'', ''his'', ''her'', ''its'', ''our'' and ''their'', but excluding those forms such as ''mine'', ''yours'', ''ours'', and ''theirs'' that are used as possessive pronouns but not as determiners.

In many languages, possessive determiners are subject to agreement with the noun they modify, as in the French ''mon'', ''ma'', ''mes'', respectivel ...
