"¿Te gusta la casa nueva de los García?" "Sí, me gusta su casa, pero prefiero _____."
a. la nuestra
b. el nuestro
c. nuestra
d. nuestro
i think this is the meaning of the question:
"Do you like the Garcia's new house?" "Yes, I like their house, but I prefer _____."
is this correct?
can you please tell me how each answer choice would fit in there? thanks a lot
Did you look up nuestra in your book? When you put "el" or "la" before nuestra or nuestro, it chances it from singular to plural.
The difference between nuestra and nuestro is depends upon the antecedent... feminine or masculine. So which one you choose will depend upon House.
La nuestra
Yes, you are correct! The conversation translates to:
"Do you like the Garcia's new house?"
"Yes, I like their house, but I prefer _____."
Now let's go through each answer choice and see how it fits in the conversation:
a. la nuestra - This translates to "ours (feminine)." If you choose this option, it means you are saying "Yes, I like their house, but I prefer ours (feminine)." This option would be suitable if you are referring to a feminine object or house that you and the person you are talking to own.
b. el nuestro - This translates to "ours (masculine)." If you choose this option, it means you are saying "Yes, I like their house, but I prefer ours (masculine)." This option would be suitable if you are referring to a masculine object or house that you and the person you are talking to own.
c. nuestra - This translates to "ours (feminine)." If you choose this option, it means you are saying "Yes, I like their house, but I prefer ours (feminine)." This option would be suitable if you are referring to a feminine object or house that you and someone else (not the person you are talking to) own.
d. nuestro - This translates to "ours (masculine)." If you choose this option, it means you are saying "Yes, I like their house, but I prefer ours (masculine)." This option would be suitable if you are referring to a masculine object or house that you and someone else (not the person you are talking to) own.
So, the correct answer would depend on the gender of the object or house you are referring to, as well as who owns it.
