Choose the possessive adjective that would match each phrase. This adjective must match the person it belongs to AND match the noun (in gender and number).
our house
choices:
suyas míos suyo nuestra tuyos
nuestra
The possessive adjective that matches the phrase "our house" is "nuestra."
The possessive adjective that matches the phrase "our house" would be "nuestra".
To determine the correct possessive adjective, you need to consider both the person it belongs to and the noun's gender and number.
In this case, "our" indicates possession by a group of people (the speaker and others), and since "house" is a singular feminine noun, the appropriate possessive adjective is "nuestra".
Let's break down the other choices to understand why they are not the correct answer:
- "suyas" is the possessive adjective for the third person plural feminine. However, since "house" is singular in this example, it is not the correct choice.
- "míos" is the possessive adjective for the first person plural masculine, but it does not match the feminine singular noun "house".
- "suyo" is the possessive adjective for the third person singular, but it does not match the feminine plural noun "house".
- "tuyos" is the possessive adjective for the second person plural masculine, but it does not match the feminine singular noun "house".
