Pronoun Noun Agreement
In lesson 2, the tips and notes section mentions, "Pronouns that describe nouns . . ." These are better known in English as "possessive pronouns", correct? And they agree with the noun they possess, not the noun they replace, right?
Also, do non-possessive pronouns change?

Yes, these are possessive pronouns. And yes, they agree with the noun, just like adjectives.
examples:
моя книжка (my book, книжка is feminine);
мій ніж (my knife, ніж is masculine)
моє дитя (my kid, дитя is neuter)
So:
my-your(singular)-his-her-our-your(pl)-their NOUN:
моя-твоя-його-її-наша-ваша-їхня книжка
мій-твій-його-її-наш-ваш-їхній ніж
моє-твоє-його-її-наше-ваше-їхнє дитя
The third person (singular) is the same for all genders.
Also, do non-possessive pronouns change?
They do change according to grammar cases, gender and number, but I can't think of other changes.
