→→ Possessive adjectives >>> usado para expressar posse - sempre acompanhado de um substantivo

I       >>> possessivo ''my'' >> my car

You  >>> possessivo ''your'' >> your mother

He    >>> possessivo ''his'' >> his father

She  >>> possessivo ''her'' >> her sister

It       >>> possessivo ''its'' >> its toy

We    >>> possessivo ''our'' >> our friends

They >>> possessivo ''their'' >> their bikes

→→ Possessive pronoun >>> é usado para substituir alguma palavra (frase nominal ou substantivo) da frase para evitar a repetição.

Exemplo:

Susan showed me her bike. And Bob showed his.

Susan me mostrou a bike dela. (sua bike) . E Bob mostrou a dele. (sua bike)

Para evitar a repetição da palavra ''bike'' foi usado o ''possessive pronoun'', que nunca vem acompanhado do substantivo, exatamente para não repetir.

David, are you using my laptop? - No, I am using mine.

David, você está usando meu laptop? - Não, estou usando o meu. (meu laptop)

Observação:

Possessivo + substantivo = my car - your brother - our teacher

Após o ''Possessive pronoun'' NÃO TEM SUBSTANTIVO.
