Possessive Pronouns

In English, the possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs. The Spanish possessive pronouns are listed in the table to the right.

A possessive adjective always accompanies a noun:
mi embarque - my shipment
su compañia - your company.

A Possessive Pronoun replaces a noun:

Su compañia es más importante que la mía. - His firm is more important than mine.

Usted ha acabado su trabajo, pero yo no he principiado el mío. - You have finished your work, but I have not started mine.

Estos títulos y acciones son míos. - These bonds and shares are mine.
