заменяют в тексте существительные,
имена нарицательные, чтобы избежать повторения.

2. Объектный падеж (кого? что? кому? чему?)
Пример: I brought him the book from my last trip. So he didn’t forget me and brought me the pencils from his last trip.

Существительное после него не употребляется, в то время как первый тип притяжательных местоимений всегда сопровождается существительным.
Пример: Моя кошка чёрная. Его кошка белая. Ему не нравится моя кошка. Эта кошка моя.
My cat is black. His cat is white. He doesn’t’ like my cat. The cat is mine.
