possessives: pronouns

Can you match these possessive pronouns to the right personal pronouns and possessive adjectives?

yours, mine, theirs, ours, hers, his, its

Subject	Object	Possessive adjectives
I	me	my
You	you	your
He	him	his
She	her	her
It	it	its
We	us	our
They	them	their

We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a noun phrase:

Is that John’s car?	No, it’s [~~my car~~]	>	No, it’s mine.
Whose coat is this?	Is it [~~your coat~~]?	>	Is it yours?
Her coat is grey, [~~my coat~~]is brown	Her coat is grey,		mine is brown.

We can use possessive pronouns after of.

We can say:

Susan is one of my friends.
or
Susan is a friend of mine.
but not
~~Susan is a friend of me~~

I am one of Susan's friends.
or
I am a friend of Susan's.
but not
~~I am a friend of Susan~~
