I have the tendency to equate "mine" as something like "hers" and "his". But I am not sure if this is correct. I know I could say:
This pencil belongs to his.
But which of the following is correct if I say this:
This pencil belongs to me.
or
This pencil belongs to mine?
Which is correct? Should I use "me" or use "mine"?
Answer
The following are correct.
This pencil belongs to him. / This pencil belongs to me.
This pencil is his. / This pencil is mine.
This is his pencil. / This is my pencil.
The following are wrong.
*This pencil belongs to his. / *This pencil belongs to my.
*This pencil belongs to his. / *This pencil belongs to mine.
