Penjelasan :

Possessive pronoun digunakan ketika object of possession diketahui berdasarkan konteks.

Biasanya ada bagian pendahulu atau antecedent, singular atau plural, yang berhubungan dengan object of possession tersebut. Contoh:

My brother’s study table was pink. Mine was light blue.
I like my job. Do you like yours?
Whose wallet is this? It’s hers.
Those aren’t our new uniforms. Those are theirs.
Contoh kalimat di atas merupakan contoh penggunaan kata ganti independen.

Bisa dilihat bahwa tidak ada penyebutan objek setelah kata ganti, namun makna dari kalimat tidak berubah dan tetap dimengerti oleh lawan bicara.

Objek yang disebutkan sebelumnya, berguna untuk memperjelas agar kalimat lebih mudah dipahami.

Penghilangan objek di belakang juga berfungsi agar kalimat tidak terasa redundant atau banyak pengulangan.
