Unlike 'her', 'hers' never takes a following noun. It stands alone as a complete noun phrase and can be the subject, object, or complement of a sentence.

常見錯誤

❌This book is her.
✅This book is hers.
💡'her' needs a noun after it (e.g. 'her book'); 'hers' replaces the whole phrase.
❌I met a friend of her.
✅I met a friend of hers.
💡After the preposition 'of', use the possessive pronoun 'hers', not the determiner 'her'.
