Explanation:
- Relative Pronoun: In sentences, dependent (or relative) clauses are frequently introduced by a relative pronoun. They can also function as a sentence's sole subject or object. The relative pronouns who, whoever, whom, whomever, that, which, when, where, and whose are on a specific list. My, mine, our, ours, its, his, her, hers, their, theirs, your, and yours are examples of possessive pronouns. All of these expressions of ownership.
- Personal pronoun: A personal pronoun is a brief word we use to simply replace a person's given name. We can see the grammatical person, gender, number, and case of the noun it replaces using any of the personal pronouns in English. Personal pronouns include I, you, He, She, It, We, They, Me, Him, Her, Us, and They. Reflexive pronouns are words that end in self or themselves and are used when a sentence's subject and object are the same. The nine reflexive pronouns in English are I, you, him, her, myself, it, ourselves, ourselves, and yourselves. It follows from the foregoing justification that "his" is a possessive pronoun.
