Possessives: my vs mine 形式
物主限定词总是位于名词之前：我的车、他们的房子。物主代词独立使用，用来替代限定词 + 名词：mine = 我的车，theirs = 他们的房子。
| 人称代词 | 在名词前面 | 没有名词 | 示例 |
| I | my | mine | It is my car. / It is mine. |
| you | your | yours | Is this your charger? / Is it yours? |
| he | his | his | It is his phone. / It is his. |
| she | her | hers | It is her book. / It is hers. |
| it | its | — | The dog has its bowl. / The dog has its own bowl. |
| we | our | ours | It is our camera. / It is ours. |
| they | their | theirs | It is their house. / It is theirs. |
my phone → mine
your bag → yours
her book → hers
their house → theirs
主要区别
| 表单 | 职位 | 示例 |
| my / your / his / her / its / our / their | 在名词前 | This is my phone. |
| mine / yours / his / hers / ours / theirs | 单独使用，不带名词 | This phone is mine. |
