Possessive Hɪz ɪz Pronoun Refer Person Determiner Det Poss

The word "his" serves as both a possessive determiner and pronoun, signifying that something belongs to or is related to a male individual or animal. It can also be used generically in writing to refer to a person without specifying gender, and when capitalized, it denotes God in religious contexts.

The word "his" is a third-person singular possessive determiner and possessive pronoun, indicating ownership or relation to a male person or animal. It can also be used in written English to refer to a person of unspecified gender, though this usage is sometimes debated. Additionally, "His" (capitalized) can refer to God in certain religious contexts.
