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.
