Usos dos Possessive Pronouns
Os “possessive pronouns” não se flexionam, ou seja, valem tanto para o singular
como para o plural. Empregue os “possessive pronouns” para substituir a
combinação (possessive adjective + substantivo), para evitar repetições:
My car is blue, yours is red. (Em vez de “My car is blue, your car is red”.)
Your car is red, mine is blue. (em vez de “Your car is red, my car is blue.”)
His car is green, hers is pink (em vez de “His car is green, her car is pink.”)
Atenção: Os “Possessive Pronouns” nunca são usados antes de substantivo, pois
sua função é substitui-lo.
