Possessive pronouns express belongingness. Use possessive
pronouns when you are talking about the same type of thing that has been
mentioned but want to indicate that it belongs to someone else.
Examples:
A friend of yours called
yesterday.
The pen on the cupboard is mine not yours.
My mother cooks better than hers.
The solution to our problem was different from theirs.
Please
Note:
No possessive pronoun has an apostrophe. The following are
un-English:
ours’, your’s, his’ theirs’
