    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Nos". This is because "nos" is the possessive adjective in French that means "our".

    (my) _____________ amis

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mes" because the word "amis" is plural, indicating that there are multiple friends. In French, possessive adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

    (Your)______________ voitures

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Vos, Tes." In French, "voitures" is the plural form of the word "voiture," which means "car." The possessive pronouns "vos" and "tes" both mean "your" in English, but they are used with different noun genders. "Vos" is used with plural nouns, while "tes" is used with singular masculine nouns. Since "voitures" is a plural noun, the correct answer is "Vos" to indicate ownership of multiple cars. "Tes" would be used if the noun were singular and masculine, such as "ta voiture" (your car).

    (His/Her)_________________ stylos

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Ses". It is likely that the question is asking for the possessive pronoun that matches the subject "(His/Her)" and "stylos" (meaning "pens" in French). The possessive pronoun that matches this subject is "ses" which means "his/her" in French.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    (Your) _____________ maison

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Votre, Ta". This is because "maison" is a feminine noun in French, and "votre" is used to address someone formally or when speaking to multiple people, while "ta" is used to address someone informally or when speaking to a single person. Therefore, depending on the context and the relationship with the person being addressed, either "Votre maison" or "Ta maison" can be used.

  • 14. 

    (His/Her)_______________frere

  • 15. 

    (His/Her)___________ maison

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Sa". In French, possessive adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "maison" is a feminine noun, the possessive adjective that corresponds to it is "sa".
