Pronomes Possessivos
Fique atento:

Os adjetivos possessivos sempre antecedem um substantivo.

My house is that one. PLAY

The boy’s coats are here and their caps are in the bedroom. PLAY

Os pronomes possessivos não antecedem substantivo, pois o mesmo está subentendido no contexto.

You took my keys. PLAY

You took mine. PLAY

Observe que o substantivo “Keys” não aparece na segunda oração após o possessivo, mas é pelo contexto que se percebe
que este é o objeto possuído.
