The word "his" can be both a pronoun and a determiner.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement presents a linguistic claim about the word 'his.'
Option provided: True.
First, consider what it means for a word to function as a pronoun. A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun and shows ownership, as in 'That book is his.' Here, 'his' stands in for 'his book' and functions as a pronoun.
Next, consider what it means for a word to function as a determiner. A determiner appears before a noun to express definiteness or possession, as in 'his book' where 'his' modifies 'book' and shows ownership.
Therefore, the same form 'his' can appear in two grammatical roles: a possessive determiner when preceding a noun (his book), and a possessive pronoun when standing alone or replacing the noun (That book is his). This dual functionality is well-established in grammatical descriptions of English.
Why the distractor would be incorrect if present: if one claimed 'his' is only a determiner, that would ignore its use as a pronoun in phrases like 'This is his.' If one claimed it is only a pronoun, that would ignore its attributive use before a noun (his car, his idea). Neither limitation holds in standard usage, so the statement is accurate.
In summary, the assertion that 'his' can be both a pronoun and a determiner aligns with how possessive forms function in English grammar, covering both attributive (determiner) and stand-alone (pronoun) positions.
