In the following sentence, which possessive pronoun is being used as an adjective?

did you see their new car in the parking lot?

The possessive pronoun being used as an adjective is "their".

Explanation:

In English, the following possessive pronouns are also called possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their. They function as an adjective due to the fact that they modify a noun to indicate possession. Also, they cannot stand alone in the sentence; they need to come with the noun they are modifying. In the sentence we are analyzing here, the noun "car" is being modified by "their".

There are possessive pronouns, however, that can stand alone in a sentence. They are the absolute possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs. Let's study the examples:

- Did you see their new car in the parking lot? (possessive adjective)

- Oh, that's not theirs. That one is mine. (absolute possessive pronouns)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
