Samsimple: According to the English Language, the third person singular which is the male personal pronoun is him, while the adjective of possession is his. But in the third person singular, the female personal pronoun and the female possessive adjective are both the same, i.e., her That's why, in your sentence, "give her her book" is correct. Even though the her are the same word, they play different grammatical functions. Hope I tried. I am not good with the English terminologies 3 Likes 1 Share |
