2. Give the translation. "The boy has his books."

Explanation

The correct answer is "El chico tiene sus libros." The word "sus" is the correct possessive pronoun to use when referring to "his" books in Spanish. "Tus" means "your" and "su" means "your/his/her" but "sus" specifically refers to "his" books in this context. "Tienen" is not the correct form of the verb "tener" to match with "el chico" which is singular, so it is not the correct answer.

Submit
3. Give the correct possessive adjective: "Our nephews are intelligent."_____ sobrinos son inteligentes. 

Explanation

The correct possessive adjective in Spanish to match the sentence "Our nephews are intelligent" is "nuestros." This is because "nuestros" is the plural form of "nuestro," which means "our" in English. Since "nephews" is plural, we use the plural form of the possessive adjective.

Submit
4. True or False? Possessive adjectives must always agree in number and sometimes in gender with the object "possessed" and not the person doing the possessing.

Explanation

Possessive adjectives must agree in number and sometimes in gender with the object being possessed, not with the person who possesses it. This means that the form of the possessive adjective changes depending on whether the object is singular or plural, and sometimes depending on its gender. Therefore, the answer "True" is correct as it accurately reflects this rule.

Submit
5. Give the correct possessive adjective for the following: "Your (informal) cats are ugly!" ____ gatos son feos.

Explanation

The correct possessive adjective for the sentence "Your (informal) cats are ugly! ____ gatos son feos." is "tus". This is because "tus" is the possessive adjective used to indicate ownership by the second person informal singular "you" in Spanish.

Submit
6. Translate "SU"

Explanation

The correct answer is "his ,hers, yours (formal) or theirs". This is because the abbreviation "SU" can be translated to different pronouns depending on the context. It can refer to "his" or "hers" when talking about someone's possession, "yours" in a formal context, or "theirs" when referring to a group's possession. The pronoun "ours" or "yours" (informal) are not included as options for translation.

Submit
7. They have their book.
Ellos _____  ____   libro.

Explanation

The correct answer is "tienen, su" because "tienen" is the third person plural form of the verb "tener" (to have), which agrees with the subject "ellos" (they). "Su" is the possessive adjective that agrees with the singular noun "libro" (book) in Spanish. Therefore, the sentence translates to "They have their book."

Submit
8. Match the English with the correct translation.

Explanation

The correct translation for "My cat is big" is "Mi gato es grande."

Submit
9. Choose the correct translation, "Our houses"

Explanation

The correct translation for "Our houses" is "nuestras casas" because "nuestras" is the plural form of "nuestra" which means "our" in Spanish, and "casas" is the plural form of "casa" which means "houses". Therefore, "nuestras casas" accurately translates the given phrase.

Submit
10. Translate the following: "You (formal) have your papers"

Explanation

The correct answer is "Usted tiene sus papeles." In Spanish, the possessive pronoun "sus" is used when referring to multiple objects or people. Since "papeles" is plural, the correct pronoun to use is "sus." Additionally, the formal form of "you" is "usted," so "tú" is not the correct pronoun to use in this context.
