Explanation
Our is used to show ownership or connection to a group that includes the speaker. It refers to something that belongs to or is shared by “us”. This word comes before a noun and tells whose thing it is. Grammatically, our is a possessive determiner (also called a possessive adjective) because it modifies a noun and shows possession. This word helps express unity, responsibility, or shared experience. It is commonly used in daily conversation to talk about family, home, work, or common goals.
