I am learning about Possessivpronomen few days now, but there is one thing confusing me.
When I am looking at the table, I see Begleiter possessive pronouns and Stellvertreter possessiv pronouns.
I understand that I need to use a Begleiterpossessivpronomen in front of a noun, but I dont understand, when I need to use Stellvertreterpossessivpronomen?
Can you please explain me when I use a Stellvertreter?
I just realized the answer.
Die (meisten) Pronomen dienen als Platzhalter oder Stellvertreter für ein Nomen. Canoo.net
I use a Begleiterpossesivpronomen with the noun, and a Stellvertreterpossesivpronomen without a noun!
Dies ist mein Auto - Dieses Auto ist meines
So simple!
