Note: esse, essa, esses, essas can be used both as adjectives and pronouns:
A: De quem esse (adjective) livro a? B: meu, mas esse (pronoun) a teu. Whose is that book there? Its mine, but that one there is yours.
As can be seen in the examples above, when used as adjectives esse, essas, esses, essas, come in front of the noun, and as pronouns they usually stand together with the verbs Ser and Estar.
