Answer: Possessive nouns have function as adjectives
Explanation:
Possessive nouns are showing ownership and they have an apostrophe or ''s'', or both. For example: Today's weather, Mary's book, Dog's food, Owls' eyes.
Because of that, they function as adjectives but they are still possessive nouns.
''I can't find Mary's book.''
Mary's is a possessive noun ( because it's telling us that the book is Mary's) and Mary's is functioning as an adjective and modifying the noun book.
Examples for possessive adjectives: This is our house.
Hey, that's my phone.
Possessive adjectives list: your, my, his, her, its, our, their. Possessive adjectives can replace noun to show ownership of something.
Answer:
No, possessive nouns cannot be used as adjectives.
Explanation:
Possessive noun shows the ownership and possessive adjective defines and modifies the noun to show the ownership. Possessive adjectives are not formed by adding apostrophe + s to possessive noun.
Possessive adjectives are my, your ,his, her, its, our, their. The possessive pronouns that replace the noun are: mine, yours, hers, his, its.
For example: his head is big. (His is possessive adjective)
That money is ours. (Ours is possessive pronoun)
