Possessive Adjectives for Spanish Class!!!!!?

Question

i have to change the words with a star next to it in plural, then make changes that are necessary to the rest of the sentence.
1. Mi libro* es nuevo.
Would the new sentence be: Mis libros es nuevos?? or do i keep nuevo, nuevo, and just make the possessive adjective plural???
2. Su tia* (with an accent on the i) es joven.
I wrote down Sus tias(with another accent) es jovenes.
AM I DOING THIS RIGHT??? DO I MAKE THE LAST WORD PLURAL?? OR JUST CHANGE THE STARRED* WORDS LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO AND CHANGE THE POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE TO PLURAL???? HELP PLZ!!!

Answer 1

You're doing fine making the nouns plural, however when you want to use the verb "ser" (to be) with a plural noun (such as libros, madres, plumas, etc) make sure that you change the "es" to "son." "Son" is what form nouns in the plural take, much like in English. One doesn't say "The books is interesing," but rather, "The books are interesting." Hope that helps.

Answer 4

You've got the right idea, but remember that you have to have both adjective-noun and noun-verb agreement. So if you change "libro" to "libros", you also need to change "mi", "es", and "nuevo" to their plural forms. You got all the adjectives but missed the verbs.

Answer 5

Why do you keep putting the verbs in singular?? Mystifies me...

- Mi libro es nuevo; Mis libros son nuevos.

Mi libro (it) is (Esto es...), then, Mis libros (they) are (Ellos son...)

- Su tia es joven; Sus tias son jovenes.

Same story...

Answer 6

here are the correct ansers :

1) "Mi libro es nuevo" becomes : Mis libros son nuevos


2) "Su tia es joven'' becomes : Sus tias son jovenes

Answer 7

mis libros nuevos

sus tias son jovenes

just continue to work on it....dont look for all the answers on here...and you will be fine.

Answer 8

You are right, but it is possible that the answer key is coded to accept only the possessive adjective and not the whole phrase. What would happen if you typed in just "tus" and "sus"?

Answer 10

you've got the idea right, but you need to remember to make the verb agree as well. so "es" would turn to "son"
