Examples:

das Buch - mein Buch
Is this what you are asking about?

Hi Ashes!
Here some examples that should help you how to use the genitive.
Der Computer meines Freundes.
Die Freundin meines Kumpels heißt Anna.
The genitive form of my (mein) always requires a "es" (meines) at the end. For further questions contact me please.
Bye

Hi Christian.
obviously I'm not a buff in grammatical terms.
I have a second question in regard to the use of the genetive form.
If the 'friend-Freund' was female (or a feminine noun), as in 'Freundin', would the ending then change from 'es' to 'er'?
Der Computer meiner Freundin?

Yes, it would.
For male and neutral nouns its "meines",
for female ones "meiner". That's all.

Re:can somebody help me with german?
The possessive pronoun 'my' takes an ending in all four cases with a few exceptions (neuter nouns in nom./acc. cases)
masc. fem. neuter. plural
nom.
