Possessive pronouns are used to talk about who owns something.
We use possessive pronouns to avoid repeating the noun.
This is my car, not your car. (this sentence is correct grammatically but not natural)
This car is mine, not yours. (natural)
Note :
A possessive pronoun is not used before a noun.
