Притяжательные определители
A possessive determiner is a word that shows who or what owns something. They are also known as possessive adjectives because they always come before a noun and act like an adjective.
Unlike possessive pronouns (mine, yours, hers), possessive determiners are always followed by a noun.

Притяжательный определитель не может стоять один. За ним должно следовать существительное.

You do not use an article (a, an, the) with a possessive determiner.
