Parte 2: pronombres posesivos

Se usan los pronombres posesivos para describir pertenencia cuando el sustantivo del que se está hablando resulta obvio, por ejemplo:

• Respondiendo preguntas:
  • "Is that your dog?" "Yes, it’s mine."
    "it's mine" significa lo mismo que "it's my dog" sin tener que repetir "dog".
• Con pronombres demostrativos:
  • "This is mine."
  • "That's not his."
  • "Is the red one yours?"

También se pueden usar los pronombres posesivos después del sustantivo, por ejemplo cuando se habla sobre algo en particular:

• That dog is mine.

Ejemplos:

• It's mine.
• Which one is yours?
• That's not hers.
• That coat is his.
• This is ours.
• Is this room theirs?
