My/mine and my mum's
Dear Users,
All of a sudden, I got a bit perplexed by the following sentence:
- It's my mum's and my breakfast.
Is it actually correct? How about these:
- It's mine and my mum's breakfast.
- It's my and my mum's breakfast.
Top answer
You just have to treat it logically: It's my breakfast, and it's also my mum's breakfast, so it's my and my mum's breakfast, or my mum's and my breakfast. " / "It's mine and my mum's". People sometimes say things like "mine and my mum's breakfast", but this is illogical.
