The adjective 'mi' is used in Spanish to indicate possession for a singular noun, as in 'mi libro'. It is the basic form taught early in Spanish possessive studies.
Which possessive adjective means 'your' (informal) in Spanish when referring to a singular object?
Tu
Su
Mi
Nuestro
The adjective 'tu' is the informal way to indicate possession for a singular noun. It is used in everyday conversations when addressing a friend or peer.
How do you say 'her' in Spanish when used as a possessive adjective for a singular noun?
Su
Tu
Mi
Vuestro
The adjective 'su' corresponds to 'his', 'her', or 'their' in Spanish. It is used for third person possessions and is appropriate here for 'her'.
Which Spanish possessive adjective is used to express 'our' before a masculine singular noun?
Nuestro
Nuestra
Vuestro
Su
For a masculine singular noun, 'our' is translated as 'nuestro'. This form is mandatory for agreement in gender and number.
What is the correct possessive adjective for 'your' (plural informal in Spain) before a feminine noun?
Vuestra
Tu
Su
Nuestro
When addressing a group informally in Spain, 'vuestra' is used before a feminine noun. It correctly matches both the number and gender of the noun.
Which sentence correctly uses the possessive adjective for 'my' with a plural noun?
Mi libros
Mis libros
Tu libros
Su libros
In Spanish, when a noun is plural, the singular possessive adjective 'mi' changes to 'mis'. 'Mis libros' correctly reflects the plural form.
Identify the correct possessive adjective form for 'our' with a feminine plural noun.
Nuestra casa
Nuestros casas
Nuestras casas
Vuestras casas
For feminine plural nouns, 'our' becomes 'nuestras'. The phrase 'nuestras casas' properly agrees in both gender and number.
What is the appropriate possessive adjective for 'your' (formal) in a sentence referring to a plural noun?
Su
Sus
Tu
Tus
For formal situations referring to a plural noun, the possessive adjective changes to 'sus'. It signifies possession by a third party or formal 'your' when the noun is plural.
Select the pair that correctly uses a possessive adjective and its corresponding pronoun in Spanish.
'Mi' is a possessive adjective and 'mía' is a possessive pronoun.
'Mi' is a possessive pronoun and 'mía' is a possessive adjective.
Both 'mi' and 'mía' are possessive adjectives.
Both 'mi' and 'mía' are possessive pronouns.
In Spanish, 'mi' directly modifies a noun and is considered a possessive adjective, while 'mía' stands alone replacing the noun and is a possessive pronoun. This distinction is important for correct usage.
How does the possessive adjective change when the noun is plural for 'tu'?
Tus
Tu
Tues
Tusa
When modifying a plural noun, 'tu' changes to 'tus' to maintain number agreement. Thus, 'tus libros' is the correct form.
Select the sentence that correctly uses the possessive adjective for 'their' with a plural noun.
Ellos tienen su amigos.
Ellos tienen sus amigos.
Ellos tienen sus amigo.
Ellos tienen su amigo.
For plural nouns, the correct form is 'sus amigos', ensuring agreement between the possessive adjective and the noun. The other options fail to match the plural context.
Which possessive adjective can replace the phrase 'de Juan' in 'El libro de Juan' to indicate possession?
Mi
Tu
Su
Nuestro
Replacing 'de Juan' with 'su' results in 'su libro', which clearly denotes that the book belongs to Juan. This is a common substitution in Spanish.
What is the plural form of the possessive adjective 'nuestra' when referring to feminine nouns?
Nuestra
Nuestros
Nuestras
Nuestrases
For feminine plural nouns, 'nuestra' becomes 'nuestras'. This forms the correct agreement in both gender and number.
Which sentence correctly contrasts the singular and plural forms of a possessive adjective?
Este es mi coche y estos son mis coches.
Este es mi coche y estos son mi coches.
Este es mis coche y estos son mis coches.
Este es mi coche y estos son tus coches.
The sentence 'Este es mi coche y estos son mis coches' correctly demonstrates the use of 'mi' for a singular noun and 'mis' for a plural noun, showing proper number agreement.
Which possessive adjective would you use for 'our' when talking about a masculine singular object?
Nuestra
Nuestros
Nuestro
Tus
For masculine singular objects, the correct possessive adjective is 'nuestro'. This ensures agreement in gender and number, as in 'nuestro coche'.
Select the sentence that shows correct use of possessive adjectives for both masculine and feminine plural nouns.
Nuestros amigos y nuestras amigas
Nuestra amigos y nuestros amigas
Nuestros amigos y nuestros amigas
Nuestra amigos y nuestras amigas
The sentence correctly employs 'nuestros' for masculine plural nouns and 'nuestras' for feminine plural nouns. This proper agreement exemplifies advanced understanding of possessive adjectives.
In the sentence 'Esta es mi camisa, pero aquella es la tuya', what type of possessives are 'mi' and 'tuya' respectively?
'Mi' is a possessive adjective and 'tuya' is a possessive pronoun.
'Mi' is a possessive pronoun and 'tuya' is a possessive adjective.
Both are possessive adjectives.
Both are possessive pronouns.
In the given sentence, 'mi' directly modifies the noun 'camisa' as an adjective, while 'tuya' stands alone as a pronoun replacing the noun. This showcases the functional difference between adjectives and pronouns.
Consider the sentence 'Sus ideas revolucionarias cambiaron el curso de la historia.' Which interpretation of 'sus' is most accurate?
It is the singular form used for a third person singular owner.
It is the plural form of the possessive adjective indicating third person possession, and it can mean 'his', 'her', or 'their'.
It is a possessive pronoun replacing a noun.
It is a possessive adjective used exclusively in formal contexts.
The adjective 'sus' agrees with the plural noun 'ideas' and indicates possession by a third party, which could be interpreted as his, her, or their depending on the context. This ambiguity is a well-known aspect of 'su/sus' in Spanish.
Identify the sentence that contains an error in possessive adjective agreement.
Ella busca su abrigo.
Ellos llevan sus libros.
María encontró tu llaves.
Nosotros apreciamos nuestra familia.
The sentence 'María encontró tu llaves.' is incorrect because 'tu' is singular while 'llaves' is plural. The correct form would be 'tus llaves' to match the plural noun.
How does context determine the meaning of the ambiguous possessive adjective 'su' in Spanish?
Context clarifies whether 'su' means his, her, or their.
Context indicates if 'su' is singular or plural.
Context shows if 'su' is a pronoun or an adjective.
Context doesn't affect the meaning of 'su'; it is fixed.
Since 'su' can refer to various possessors (his, her, your formal, or their), the context in which it is used is essential to determine the intended meaning. This requires careful interpretation of the surrounding text.

Spanish Possessive Adjectives Practice Cheat Sheet

  1. Agreement with Gender and Number - Spanish possessive adjectives must match the gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) of the noun they modify. This means you'll say "mi libro" for one book but "mis libros" for many. ¡No more mix‑ups! SpanishDict Possessive Adjectives Guide
  2. Short-Form Possessives - Get to know your quick‑draw adjectives: mi/mis (my), tu/tus (your), su/sus (his/her/their/your), nuestro/a/s (our), and vuestro/a/s (your plural). These little words pack a lot of punch in every sentence. StudySpanish Short‑Form Lesson
  3. Position of Short‑Forms - In Spanish, short‑form possessives always come before the noun: "mi casa," "tus amigos," "nuestros libros." Think of them as the noun's trusty sidekick, never lagging behind! Spanish Learning Lab: Placement Tips
  4. Ambiguous su/sus - "Su" and "sus" can mean his, her, its, your (formal), or their, depending on context. Always double‑check the subject around you to know whose stuff you're talking about. StudySpanish Ambiguity Explained
  5. Long‑Form Possessives - Meet the heavyweight champions: mío/mía/míos/mías (mine), tuyo/a/os/as (yours), suyo/a/os/as (his/hers/yours/theirs), nuestro/a/os/as (ours), and vuestro/a/os/as (yours plural). Use them when you want extra flair! SpanishBoat Long‑Form Guide
  6. Position of Long‑Forms - Unlike their short cousins, long‑form adjectives come after the noun: "un amigo mío," "la casa tuya." Slide them in to spotlight the owner with style. SpanishBoat Placement Tips
  7. Emphasis with Long‑Forms - Use long‑form possessives when you want to stress ownership or compare: "este coche es mío, no tuyo." It's a great way to add personality and clarity. SpanishDict Emphasis Tricks
  8. Clarify Ambiguity with "de" - If "su" still feels unclear, switch to "de + pronoun/name," e.g., "el libro de él" (his book) or "la casa de María." Context never felt so precise! WISC: Clarifying Possessives
  9. Body Parts Exception - Spaniards skip possessive adjectives with body parts. Instead of "mi brazo duele," say "Me duele el brazo." It's weird at first, but you'll sound like a native in no time! StudySpanish Body Part Rule
  10. Practice to Build Confidence - The secret sauce is repetition: write sentences, speak out loud, quiz yourself. The more you use possessive adjectives, the more second nature they become. ¡A practicar! Spanish Learning Lab Exercises
