Let's see some formats with examples in the sentences so that they can guide you to speaking good.
     FORMAT 1
Demonstrative +noun+is/are+possessive pronoun
Examples
1.This pencil is mine
2.These cats are ours
         In the first sentence, the word is stands for singular and in the second  sentence are is for plural. However in those two sentences above,the words mine and ours are possessive pronouns and placed there for putting stress.
     FORMAT 2
Noun/subject+am/is/are +noun(s)+of+possessive pronoun
