Possessive pronouns are used in English to avoid repeating information that is already clear. In general it makes the sentence less confusing because the same information is not being repeated.

This book is my book, not your book. (Sounds repetitive)

This book is mine, not yours. (Mine and yours are possessive pronouns)

In the sentence, mine is a possessive pronoun that replaces my book.

In the sentence, yours is a possessive pronoun that replaces your book.

Examples:

  1. I didn't have my umbrella so Marta lent me hers.
  2. (I didn't have my umbrella so Marta lent me her umbrella).
  3. Her car is faster than mine.
  4. (Her car is faster than my car).
  5. That food is ours and not theirs.
  6. (That food is our food and not their food).
  7. I know this drink is yours but I need to drink something.
  8. (I know this drink is your drink but I need to drink something).
