possessive の with a verb


I was having a discussion with someone over the sentence

私 **の** 作った絵を使った! (He) used the drawing I made

I have never seen the possessive の being used as NOUN + の + VERB (only N+の+N)
so I insisted the sentence should be written as

私 **が** 作った絵を使った

Who is correct here? Is the "NOUN + possessive の + VERB" construction a valid
one to make?




Hopefully I will be able to clarify this to you.

The の between 私 and 作った絵 makes perfect sense if you look at the verb as you
would look at a modifier/adjective.

Few examples:

買った本 - book that was bought 書いた手紙 - letter that was written 走っている子供 - child
that is running

Even though, you're using a verb, it acts and modifies the noun as an
adjective, that's why you can treat it as a noun phrase.

Hopefully you got it by now. If you need some more help, let me know :)
