Question 1 with 1 blank(Your, fam.) familia es muy simpática

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1 coudl be either Tu familia es muy simpática or Su familia es muy simpática

Explanation:

Since we are given your as the possessive in English, we know the sentence needs a second person possessive noun. However since in English second person singular and plural use the same pronouns, there is no way to know if we are referring to a single person or to a group. In Spanish there is a difference between plural and singular possessive so we have the two possible answers.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Él es mi hermano.

2) Mi familia es muy simpática

Explanation:

We use possessives in Spanish to express mainly possession. If they go before a name they perform the function of a determinant (‘esta es mi casa’) and if they do not accompany any name they are possessive pronouns (‘esta falda es mia’).

For example:

Este es mi coche.  (This is my car.)

He estado con mis amigos. (I have been with my friends.)

Este libro es mío.  (This book is mine.)
