can you proofread/revise my answers underlined.. thanks in advance

Answer 1

I won't revise them, but I'll tell you 1,2,5, and 6 are incorrect. For 1 and 2, you have the number correct (that is, 1 is singular and 2 is plural), but you need to ask WHO owns the things. WHOSE computer is it? It's not mine, so "mi" is incorrect. For number 2, who has the siblings?

For number 5 you have the person correct -- it is THEIR house. But how many houses do they own? More than one?

For number 6 you have to be extra careful because when you use "nuestro," this and "vuestro" have to be matched to gender -- masculine or feminine. Mi, tu, su/mis, tus, sus don't have gender issues.
