✔ c. her

4. Do your uncles still live in _____ own house?

✔ d. their

5. Have you seen _____ pencil? I can't find it.

8. Do you ever copy _____ homework?
→ Copying someone else’s homework → "their" or "your"?

- Always match the possessive adjective to the owner of the noun.
- Use "your" when referring to the listener.
- Use "her/his" for singular people.
- Use "their" for plural people.
- Use "its" only for animals/objects (no plural form).
- Use "our" for "we" or "us".
- Be careful with context — e.g., "your father" owns the car → use his, not "your".
