"This smartphone is yours"

Sono Invariabili

Concordano nel genere con il possessore e non con la cosa posseduta

"This dog is hers"

"That bike is his"

Non sono mai preceduti da un articolo

Look at those books! "Are those your books? Yes, they're mine"

Sostituiscono un aggettivo possessivo + un nome (già pronunciato in precedenza oppure indicato in un contesto extralinguistico)
