4.6 Pronouns

Fran NFri, 12 Aug 2011 06:35:51 -0500
Ciao, I found these examples/sentences explaining possesive pronouns on the net and thought they would be good practise for me to translate into italian.... my grammar and use of possessive pronouns.
So..... how did I go???????

Look at these pictures. Mine is the big one
Guardi a questi fotograhie (f). La mia è il uno grande.

I like your flowers (m). Do you like mine?
Mi piace i tuoi fiori. Ti piace i miei?

I looked everywhere for your key. I found John's key but I couldn't find yours.
Ho cerco dappertutto per il tuo chiave (f). Ho trovo chiave di John ma non io travo la vostra.

My flowers are dying. Yours are lovely.
I miei fiori sono morendo. I vostri sono bello.

All the essays were good but his was the best.
I teme (m)sono tutto bene ma I suoi meglio di tutti.

John found his passport but Mary couldn't find hers.
John ha trova il suo passaporto ma Mary non ha trova la sua.

Here is your car. Ours is over there, where we left it.
La Tua macchina è qui. Ie nostre è laggiù, ……………

Your photos are good. Ours are terrible.
Lle mie fotografie sono buona. Le nostre sono terribile.

Each couple's books are colour-coded. Yours are red.
………. I libri…………………… I vostri sono rosso.

I don't like this family's garden but I like yours.
Non mi piace il giardino di questo famiglia ma mi piace il vostro.

These aren't John and Mary's children. Theirs have black hair
Questi bambini non sono di John e Mary. I loro hanno capelli nero.

John and Mary don't like your car. Do you like theirs?
John e Mary non loro piace la tua macchina. Ti piace le loro?

Looking forward to your feed back.

Grazie, Fran
