The possessive determiner 'our' is commonly used to indicate ownership or possession, excluding the person or people being addressed. For example, 'This is our car' emphasizes that the car belongs to the speaker and their companions, but not to the listener. However, learners of English often confuse 'our' with 'my' or 'mine', using 'our' to refer to something that belongs to the speaker alone. For instance, 'This is our book' is incorrect, as 'our' implies shared ownership.
