Object pronouns represent any other people or things involved in the sentence: The man gave us a check. The dog licked him on the nose. The book bored them. Possessive pronouns represent ownership. If you include the noun, use the pre-noun version: The cat nibbled your finger. My book has a red cover. If the possessive pronoun stands alone, use the alone version: This book is yours.
