To choose the correct answers for the given sentences, it's important to understand the use of possessive pronouns and possessive adjectives in English.
A friend . is coming round later.
The correct answer is b) of mine. In English, "a friend of mine" is a common way to express possession or association, indicating that the friend is one of several friends you have.
Is that Ferrari ?
The correct answer is c) yours. "Is that Ferrari yours?" uses the possessive pronoun "yours" to ask about possession of the Ferrari.
Does the red bike outside belong to ?
The correct answer is a) you. The sentence "Does the red bike outside belong to you?" uses "you" as the object of the preposition "to," inquiring about who owns the bike.
That's . bus.Hurry up!
The correct answer is c) our. "That's our bus. Hurry up!" uses the possessive adjective "our" to indicate that the bus belongs to "us."
That's . .This is ours.
The correct answer is c) theirs. "That's theirs. This is ours." uses the possessive pronoun "theirs" to refer to something that belongs to them.
Louise came with one of . friends.
The correct answer is a) her. "Louise came with one of her friends." uses the possessive adjective "her" to indicate that the friends are associated with Louise.
Understanding the distinction between possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) and possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) is key to choosing the correct form in such sentences. Possessive adjectives modify a noun and are used directly before it, while possessive pronouns replace a noun and do not directly precede one.
