We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a noun phrase:
Is that John’s car? | No, it’s [ | > | No, it’s mine. | |
Whose coat is this? | Is it [ | > | Is it yours? | |
Her coat is grey, [ | 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
or
Susan is a friend of mine.
but not
or
I am one of Susan's friends.
or
I am a friend of Susan's.
