Yet Another Ending

Eider thought that's a good idea.

 

The rest of the house had best take shelder then, if I'm going to
pintail one on.

 

The beast exists.
Page 41 of my "Chambers Guide to Grammar and Usage" lists
possessive adjectives as my, your, her, their, etc
and possessive pronouns as mine, yours, hers, theirs, etc.

So its could be a possessive adjective or pronoun depending on
its context.

HTH, as the Froggy pedagogue isn't about at the moment.

 

Really? So I was write after all. Hah. I dunno, I'm buggered if I
do. I dunno the rules, just if it looks right or not.

He says he's forgotten how to parlez l'Anglais anyway - not that you
can believe a word he says in any case.

I'd be peking at a brandy.

falls into, out of the two.

It's a pronoun (sorry, Pip!).

 

Only teal the morning after.

Waddle I have to do to join this thread?

to ejaculate:

I don't really GAF, TBH. Right now, I give even less of AF as I
tooked Platy's advice and done a half bottle of medicinal in a couple
of verry nice hot toddies. On top of the Sudafed, ibuprofen and
codeine and I really ain't feeling a lot of anything. Sorted.

 

You are the Nijinsky of self-medication.

 

Does that mean I'll go blind and die in the middle of a pas de deux?

 

I can't guarantee that you won't. I'd avoid any and all activities likely
to cause blindness if I were you.

 

Wrong.
Look at

and
http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/possessive-pronoun.html
with particular reference to the occurrence of /its/ on each page.

Just because it's on the web doesn't make it true.

OK, fair comment. Depends on context, then. I note the second of those
URLs actually uses what looks like a wrong example in that it gives the
words yours, mine, its etc and then gives an exemplar using the word
"your" not "yours"!
