Each Spanish possessive pronoun has four forms that must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the noun in the phrase they replace. These pronouns are the same as the long forms of possessive adjectives, but are almost always used with the definite article.

Here is a breakdown of the possessive pronouns.

Pronoun Form Form Possessive Pronoun

I mio mios mine

You tuyo tuyos yours

He/She/it suyo suyos his/her

We nuestro nuestros ours

You vuestro/suyo vuestros/suyos yours

They suyo suyos theirs

Personal Feminine Singular Feminine Plural English

Pronoun Form Form Possessive Pronoun

I mia mias mine

You tuya tuyas yours

He/She/it suya suyas his/her

We nuestra nuestras ours

You vuestra/suya vuestras/suyas yours

They suya suyas theirs

In answer 1 Mi equals to My because they are possessive adjectives instead of possessive pronouns, the same with answer 4 is Su instead of suyo because of the possessive adjective and not the possessive pronoun.

Possessive adjectives are words like my, your, our, his, her, its and their. They are used before nouns.

Possessive pronouns are words like mine, yours, ours, his, hers and theirs. They are used alone.
