Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns are used to designate possession. They may also be used as substitutes for noun phrases, and they are commonly found at the end of a sentence or clause and can prevent its repetition (e.g., "These glasses are mine, not yours") the words "mine" and "yours" are possessive pronouns and stand for "my glasses" and "your glasses," respectively.
Here is a chart that might help you with the possessive pronouns:
*Note 1: In some sentences using possessive pronouns you´ll find that the possessive adjectives are used too.
**Note 2: If you are using a possessive pronoun it is necessary that the pronoun you are replacing has been mentioned before, so you know what you are refering to.
