🔍 Understanding the Game Board



Each square contains a sentence with a blank, followed by a code like:
- `(3MS)` = Third person singular, masculine
- `(1P)` = First person, plural
- `(2S)` = Second person, singular
- etc.

The player must fill in the correct possessive pronoun for each subject.

---

🎯 Objective:


Fill in the blanks with the correct possessive pronoun (e.g., *my, your, his, her, its, our, their*) based on the subject and number given.

Possessive Pronouns Reference:



| Subject | Pronoun |
|--------|--------|
| I | my |
| you | your |
| he | his |
| she | her |
| it | its |
| we | our |
| they | their |

Also note:
- "Its" is used for inanimate objects or animals (no apostrophe).
- "Their" is used for plural subjects.
- "His" can be used for male subjects or both male/female when gender is unknown.

🧩 Let's Solve Each Sentence



We’ll go through each sentence and fill in the correct possessive pronoun.

---

#### Top Row:
1. The house is ____. (3MS)
→ *his*
(Third person singular, masculine)

2. The pen is ____. (1S)
→ *my*
(First person singular)

3. The new haircut is ____. (3SM)
→ *his*
(Third person singular, masculine)

4. The cake is ____. (1P)
→ *our*
(First person plural)

5. That dog is not ____. (2S)
→ *your*
(Second person singular)

6. The ball is ____. (3SM)
→ *his*
(Third person singular, masculine)

7. Go Ahead 2 Spaces (action card)

8. Those parents are ____. (3SF)
→ *their*
(Third person plural, feminine — but "parents" is plural; so "their")

9. That phone is ____. (1P)
→ *our*
(First person plural)

10. This new friend is ____. (1P)
→ *our*
(Possessive pronoun for "our" — "This new friend is ours"? But wait — this sentence says "is ____", so likely wants possessive adjective.)

Wait! Important clarification:

> In these sentences, the structure is:
> "[Subject] is ____"
> So we're looking for possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their), not possessive pronouns (mine, yours, etc.).

Because:
- "The house is his." → "his" is a possessive adjective modifying "house".
- "The cake is our." → "our" modifies "cake".

So yes, we are using possessive adjectives.

Let’s now go through all the sentences correctly.

Complete Answers



#### Top Row:
1. The house is his. (3MS)
2. The pen is my. (1S)
3. The new haircut is his. (3SM)
4. The cake is our. (1P)
5. That dog is not your. (2S)
6. The ball is his. (3SM)
7. Go Ahead 2 Spaces
8. Those parents are their. (3SF)
9. That phone is our. (1P)
10. This new friend is our. (1P) → Wait: "This new friend is our?" → grammatically incorrect.
Actually, "This new friend is ours." → but that would be a possessive pronoun.

But the sentence is: "This new friend is ____." → needs an adjective.

So perhaps the intended answer is our, meaning "our friend", but that doesn't make sense unless it's "This new friend is our friend."

But the sentence is incomplete: “This new friend is ____.” — probably meant to be filled with a possessive adjective.

But “this new friend is our” → ungrammatical.

Wait — maybe there’s a typo. Perhaps it should be “This new friend is ours.” — then it would use a possessive pronoun.

But the format is consistent: “____” after “is”, so it's expecting a possessive adjective.

Alternatively, maybe the sentence is: “This new friend is (1P)” → meaning “This new friend is our” → but again, missing noun.

This suggests a possible error in design.

But assuming the pattern is to fill in the possessive adjective, let’s continue.

Perhaps the sentence means: “This new friend is our friend.” → so the blank is “our”.

But since it's just “is ____”, we'll assume the blank is for the possessive adjective.

So: our

Similarly, others will follow.

Let’s proceed carefully.

Full List with Answers:



#### Top Row (Right Side):
- That dog is not your. (2S)
- The ball is his. (3SM)
- Go Ahead 2 Spaces
- The book is her. (3SF) → “The book is her” → no, should be “The book is her book”? → again, issue.

Wait — this reveals a problem.

If the sentence is: “The book is ____.” (3SF), and we’re supposed to say “The book is her.” → that’s ungrammatical.

It should be either:
- “The book is hers.” → possessive pronoun
- “The book is her book.” → possessive adjective + noun

But here, only one blank.

So likely, the blank is for a possessive pronoun?

But earlier examples: “The house is his.” → “his” is possessive adjective.

But “The house is his” is correct.

“His” can function as both possessive adjective and pronoun.

In “The house is his.” → "his" is a possessive pronoun (no noun after).

Ah! Here's the key:

> In sentences like:
> - "The house is his." → "his" is a possessive pronoun (referring to “the house belongs to him”)
> - "The house is his house." → "his" is a possessive adjective

But in this game, the sentence is: "The house is ____." → so it’s missing the noun, meaning the blank must be a possessive pronoun.

So actually, we need possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs), not possessive adjectives.

Let’s clarify:

| Type | Example |
|------|--------|
| Possessive Adjective | My house, your car, his dog |
| Possessive Pronoun | The house is mine. The car is yours. The dog is his. |

But in the sentence: "The house is ____.", if we say "The house is his", then "his" is a possessive pronoun.

Yes! So "his" here is a possessive pronoun.

So we are being asked to fill in possessive pronouns.

So the correct answers are:
