Pronomes possessivos evitam a repetição de um substantivo ex. That car is mine!
Concordam com o possuidor e não com o objeto possuído ex. She has a dog. Her dog is black.
Nunca se usam com o artigo ex. My dog = o meu cachorro; mine = o meu.
Os possessive pronouns vêm no lugar dos substantivos. Os possessive adjectives precedem os substantivos ex. But my dog is white. Mine is white.
