Explicação:
Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone. The possessive pronouns are my, our, your, his, her, its, and their. There’s also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.
Independent possessive pronouns (also called absolute possessive pronouns) must be used without a noun.
Examples:
My phone is dead. Pass me yours.
Did you know that Labrador is mine ?
The house on the corner is theirs.
As you can see, it is common to see independent possessive pronouns at the ends of clauses or phrases.
