When you state that something belongs to you, you can say my or mine. You would use mine only at the and of a sentence. You would use my when you are going to state the name of the object in the same sentence but after the word describing your possession of the object. Both words can be used as plural and singular.
Examples: "That is mine" ; "That is my car" ; "This is mine" ; "This is my toy" ; "That game is mine" ; "That toy is my favorite"
I hope this helps!

My precedes the noun. Mine follows it.
Like
This is my home.
But the same meaning is achieved if you write,
This home is mine.
You see that what is mine is writen before the word mine.

I think mine is used for plural subjects. Like these are mine. Those are mine.

"mine" expresses ownership.
you can find it in the end of the sentence.
EX. that book is mine.
You use "my" to tell that something or someone is neither connected to you or you own it.
you can find it the beginning of the sentence.
EX. My friend is in the hospital.
get it?
