PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Explanation:
Explanation:
Mine: This word works like a pronoun, which means it can replace a noun, can serve as a subject, or is equal to a noun.
Examples:
"The dog is mine." Here, "mine" equals "the dog."
"Mine is over there." "Mine" is acting as the subject.
"Drop mine at the corner." "Mine" is replacing a noun.
My: This is an adjective. It describes a noun.
Examples:
"My dog is hungry." Here, "my" is describing "dog."
You have my notebook." "My" is describing "notebook."
Notice that when using "my," you must provide the name of the thing being described.
With this in mind, let's look at the two examples you provided.
1. "You are mine teacher." He is trying to describe "teacher," so he needs an adjective. He is not using the word to replace the noun "teacher." That word is already provided, and he needs a word to describe it. Thus, he needs "my."
2. "That is mine shirt." He is trying to describe "shirt." The name of the thing being described is provided: "shirt." He needs "my."
In both cases, if he left off the word being described, then "mine" would be correct. He would be using that word to replace the nouns "teacher" and "shirt." However, the things being described are provided, so he needs "my."
