Possessive pronouns (also called “absolute” or “strong” possessive pronouns) are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, and theirs. They replace a noun or noun phrase already used, replacing it to avoid repetition: "I said that phone was mine."
Possessive adjectives (also called “weak” possessive pronouns) are my, your, his, her, its, our, your, and their. They function as determiners in front of a noun to describe who something belongs to. For example: "I said that's my phone."
