Possessive pronouns


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.
Subject
Possessive Pronoun
I mine
you yours
he his
she hers
it its
we ours
you yours
they theirs

Examples :

This book is mine.
I like that car. Is it yours?
It's not your pen. It's hers.
We have a new house. It's ours.
Our work is finished; theirs isn't.
Your computer is better than mine.
