В английском языке часто используются абсолютные особые формы местоимений. Они как бы заменяют сочетание притяжательное местоимение+существительное. После них существительное уже не употребляется.

Например,

This is my chair. (притяжательное местоимение+существительное) Это мой стул.

This chair is mine. (абсолютное местоимение) Этот стул мой.

Эти формы необходимо запомнить.

That is my desk. – That desk is mine.

It is your purse. – It is yours.

Her house is big. – But hers is bigger.

That is his friend. – That friend is his./That is a friend of his.
