	Mister Micawber  +  381966 Wed, 20 Jun 07 12:14 PM They are adjectives, the possessive case of 'she' and 'I' respectively.  As an object pronoun:  I saw her yesterday.  The object pronoun for 'I' is of course 'me'.

	Bird Of Paradise  +  381975 Wed, 20 Jun 07 12:26 PM Thanks, M.M. for your help. I was just consulting my dictionary for it when u replied. But to my great surprise Her has not been mentioned in my dictionary as an adjective, but as a pronoun and determiner. In the later case its function was the same as in adjective. Could you pleas tell me the difference between determiner and this form of adjective (her pen)? Thanks. Bird Of Paradise Possessives, Difference Between, Nouns, Pronouns, Determiners
