Parte 2: Pronomes possessivos

Nós usamos pronomes possessivos para descrever propriedade quando o substantivo do qual estamos falando está claro, por exemplo:

• Respondendo perguntas:
  • "Is that your dog?" "Yes, it’s mine."
    "it's mine" significa o mesmo que "it's my dog" sem repetir a palavra "dog".
• Com pronomes demonstrativos:
  • "This is mine."
  • "That's not his."
  • "Is the red one yours?"

Podemos também usar pronomes possessivos após o substantivo, por exemplo, quando estamos falando de uma coisa específica:

• That dog is mine.

Exemplos:

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