(no subject)

 I'm sure this subject has been poured over many times in this community, but I will risk asking it again. Could you explain when свой and мой should be used? In English we don't have свой and so it is difficult for me to get a feel of when to use it. For instance, Я убераю свою комнату I would have guessed and written Я убераю мою комнату. 

Or if you prefer not to write out the explanation could someone post a link to a good explanation? Thanks.

"Я сел в мою машину, а он - в его".
This is not correct Russian.

Bad style, but right grammar.

No, it is not right grammar.
