36 Possessive pronouns
↑ PronounПритяжательные местоимения выражают принадлежность существительного и соответствуют личным местоимениям. Притяжательные местоимения в английском языке имеют две формы: одна используется как прилагательное (при существительном), другая - как существительное (независимо).my (1-ое лицо ед.) — мой, моя, мое, моиyour 2-е лицо,ед.) — твой, Ваш и т.д. (ед.ч.)her (3-е лицо ед.) — ееits (3-е лицо ед.) — его, ее (неодуш.)our (1-ое лицо мн. ч.) — наш и т.д.your (2-е лицо мн. ч.) — ваш, Ваш и т.д. (мн.ч.)their (3-е лицо мн. ч.) — ихmine (1-ое лицо ед.) — мой, моя, мое, моиyours 2-е лицо, ед.) — твой, Ваш и т.д. (ед.ч.)hers (3-е лицо ед.) — ееits (3-е лицо ед.) — его, ее (неодуш.)ours (1-ое лицо мн. ч.) — наш и т.д.yours (2-е лицо мн. ч.) — ваш, Ваш и т.д. (мн.ч.)theirs (3-е лицо мн. ч.) — их1) Притяжательные местоимения - прилагательные употребляются в качестве определения при существительном.Притяжательные местоимения - существительные употребляются в функции подлежащего, дополнения или именной части сказуемого (при отсутствии существительного).My
eyes are blue and yours are hazel — У меня глаза голубые, а у тебя - карие.At the same time, his own fears of abandonment are if anything greater than hers — В то же время он боится быть покинутым, во всяком случае, больше, чем она.
2) Наличие при существительном притяжательного местоимения делает такое существительное определенным и при этом исключает возможность употребления при нем артиклей и других местоимений. Если необходимо выразить неопределенность существительного или употребить другое местоимение или прилагательное одновременно с притяжательным, для выражения притяжательности используется конструкция of + притяж. мест. - сущ.:You have been a shipboard acquaintance of mine for a few hours — Мы с Вами познакомились и общались в течение нескольких часов на корабле.
My problems are no business of yours — Мои проблемы Вас не касаются.
3) В целом в английском языке притяжательные местоимения используются чаще, чем в русском. В частности, притяжательные местоимения обычно используются, когда речь идет о частях тела человека и иных предметах, тесно связанных с другим предметом.The table was set on its legs — Стол был поставлен на ( свои) ножки
•— Употребление притяжательных местоимений в качестве подлежащего герундия после глагола см. Verb + ing-form, 3.
