Step-by-step solution for: Possessive Pronouns Spanish Fill In The Blanks Exam | Teaching ...
To solve this worksheet, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct Possessive Pronouns in Spanish. These pronouns replace a noun and show ownership (like "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "theirs").
The code in parentheses tells us which pronoun to use:
* 1S / 1P: First person singular ("mine") → *mío/mía/míos/mías*
* 2S / 2P: Second person singular ("yours" - informal) → *tuyo/tuya/tuyos/tuyas*
* 3S / 3P: Third person singular ("his/hers/yours-formal") → *suyo/suya/suyos/suyas*
* 5M / 5F: Fifth person plural ("theirs") → *suyo/suya/suyos/suyas* (Note: In many textbooks, "5th person" refers to *ellos/ellas*, which uses the same forms as the 3rd person *él/ella/usted*).
Key Rule for Agreement:
The possessive pronoun must match the thing being owned (the subject of the sentence), not the owner.
* If the subject is masculine singular (el), use *-o* (e.g., *mío*).
* If the subject is feminine singular (la), use *-a* (e.g., *mía*).
* If the subject is masculine plural (los), use *-os* (e.g., *míos*).
* If the subject is feminine plural (las), use *-as* (e.g., *mías*).
Let's go through each question step-by-step:
1. La casa es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3M5)
* Subject: *La casa* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Plural (*Ellos/Ellas* - "theirs").
* Form: Feminine Singular of *suyo*.
* Answer: suya
2. La pluma es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1S)
* Subject: *La pluma* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Singular (*Yo* - "mine").
* Form: Feminine Singular of *mío*.
* Answer: mía
3. El nuevo corte de pelo es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SM)
* Subject: *El ... corte* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Singular (*Él/Ella/Usted* - "his/hers/yours").
* Form: Masculine Singular of *suyo*.
* Answer: suyo
4. El pastel es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1P)
* Subject: *El pastel* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Plural (*Nosotros* - "ours").
* Form: Masculine Singular of *nuestro*.
* Answer: nuestro
5. Ese perro no es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (2S)
* Subject: *Ese perro* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 2nd Person Singular (*Tú* - "yours").
* Form: Masculine Singular of *tuyo*.
* Answer: tuyo
6. El balón es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SM)
* Subject: *El balón* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Singular (*Él/Ella/Usted*).
* Form: Masculine Singular of *suyo*.
* Answer: suyo
7. El libro es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SF)
* *Correction Note*: The subject *El libro* is Masculine. The code says (3SF) which usually implies a feminine answer, but possessive pronouns must agree with the noun *libro*. However, looking at standard exercises, sometimes codes refer to the *owner*. But standard grammar dictates agreement with the object. Let's look closer. Actually, usually, these codes refer to the person. 3S = Third Person Singular. F/M usually denotes the gender of the *object* in some specific textbook keys, OR it's a typo in the question asking for a feminine pronoun for a masculine noun (which is impossible).
* *Alternative Interpretation*: Is it possible the code (3SF) means "3rd Person Singular, Female Owner"? No, possessive pronouns don't change based on the owner's gender in Spanish (except for 1st/2nd person plural in some contexts, but mostly no). They change based on the *object*.
* *Most likely scenario*: The code (3SF) is a typo for (3SM) or the student is expected to write the form that matches *El libro*. *El libro* is masculine. The pronoun is *suyo*.
* *Wait*, let's look at #13. *El hijo* (Masculine) has code (3SF). This suggests the code might indicate the gender of the *possessor*? No, that doesn't change the word.
* Let's re-read standard Spanish grammar rules. *Mío, tuyo, suyo, nuestro, vuestro*. They agree with the thing possessed.
* If the test strictly demands following the code (3SF) literally as "Feminine Form", it would be *suya*, but that is grammatically incorrect for *El libro*. However, in many multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank keys, if the prompt says (3SF), it might be testing if you know *suya* is the feminine form of the 3rd person possessive, regardless of the sentence context error, OR the sentence subject was intended to be feminine.
* *Let's look at #8*: *Este sombrero* (Masculine) -> (3SM). Answer: *suyo*.
* *Let's look at #7 again*: *El libro* (Masculine) -> (3SF). This is tricky. If I write *suya*, it disagrees with *libro*. If I write *suyo*, it ignores the 'F' in the code. Given #13 also has this mismatch (*El hijo*... 3SF), it is highly likely the code indicates the gender of the owner (which is irrelevant for the word choice) or it is a typo in the worksheet for the object gender.
* *Standard Academic Approach*: Always agree with the noun in the sentence. *El libro* is masculine. The word is suyo. (Note: If your teacher strictly follows the parenthetical hint as the "target word form" despite the noun, they might want *suya*, but *suyo* is the correct Spanish grammar. I will provide the grammatically correct answer based on the noun *El libro*).
* *Self-Correction*: Actually, looking at #1, *La casa* (Fem) -> (3M5). 3M5 usually means 3rd Person Plural (Ellos). The answer is *suya*. The code M5 might mean "Masculine 5th person"? No.
* Let's assume the codes are: Number = Person, Letter = Gender of the *Object* required?
* 1: La casa (Fem) -> Code 3M5. Answer *suya*. Code has M? Maybe M5 means "Plural"? No.
* Let's stick to the grammar rule: Agree with the subject.
* 7. *El libro* is masculine. Answer: suyo.
8. Este sombrero no es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SM)
* Subject: *Este sombrero* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Singular.
* Answer: suyo
9. El garaje es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1P)
* Subject: *El garaje* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Plural (*Nosotros* - "ours").
* Answer: nuestro
10. El nuevo auto es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3P)
* Subject: *El ... auto* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Plural (*Ellos/Ellas* - "theirs").
* Answer: suyo
11. La lámpara es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SF)
* Subject: *La lámpara* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Singular.
* Answer: suya
12. La cuchara no es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SM)
* Subject: *La cuchara* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Singular.
* Grammar check: The subject is feminine (*La cuchara*). The pronoun MUST be feminine (*suya*). The code says (3SM) which implies masculine. This is a contradiction in the worksheet.
* Decision: In language tests, grammatical agreement with the visible noun usually trumps the hint code if they conflict. *La cuchara* requires *suya*. However, if the code (3SM) is a strict instruction to write the masculine form, it would be *suyo*. But *La cuchara es suyo* is wrong. *La cuchara es suya* is right. I will provide the grammatically correct answer: suya.
13. El hijo es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SF)
* Subject: *El hijo* (Masculine Singular).
* Code says (3SF) - Feminine.
* Grammar check: *El hijo* is masculine. Requires *suyo*.
* Answer: suyo
14. Esta hermana es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1S)
* Subject: *Esta hermana* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Singular (*Yo* - "mine").
* Answer: mía
15. La comida no es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1P)
* Subject: *La comida* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Plural (*Nosotros* - "ours").
* Answer: nuestra
16. Ese gato es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3P)
* Subject: *Ese gato* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Plural (*Ellos* - "theirs").
* Answer: suyo
17. La canasta es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SF)
* Subject: *La canasta* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Singular.
* Answer: suya
18. Eso no es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3SM)
* Subject: *Eso* (Neuter/Demonstrative).
* When using *esto/eso/aquello*, we often use the neuter possessive forms *lo mío, lo tuyo, lo suyo*. However, in basic exercises, they often treat *eso* as referring to a masculine noun implied, or just accept the masculine singular form.
* Code (3SM) asks for 3rd Person Singular Masculine.
* Answer: suyo (Or potentially *lo suyo*, but *suyo* fits the pattern of the other answers better).
19. Esta hija es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1P)
* Subject: *Esta hija* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Plural (*Nosotros* - "ours").
* Answer: nuestra
20. Esa nueva casa es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (3P)
* Subject: *Esa ... casa* (Feminine Singular).
* Owner: 3rd Person Plural (*Ellos* - "theirs").
* Answer: suya
21. El auto no es \_\_\_\_\_\_ (1S)
* Subject: *El auto* (Masculine Singular).
* Owner: 1st Person Singular (*Yo* - "mine").
* Answer: mío
