So the trick is to watch your gender and number and also to translate the question to make sure you know what you are saying in reply. Oh and don't forget your accents on verb conjugations - they're not optional and can change everything!

2.¿Quieres usar nuestra conexión inalámbrica?

This is feminine singular so you possessive pronoun needs to be the same

A: sí, quiero usar lo nuestro

la nuestra

Guardaste mis archivos?

So the question is - Did you keep/look after my files?

And you answered, yes, he may look after yours - guarde is the problem here, you have the present subjunctive conjugation - you can't forget your accents, they change everything

A: sí, guarde los tuyos

4.¿Llenaste el tanque de su carro?

The question is - Did you fill the tank of your/his/her car?

**and you answered ...yes he might fill yours/his/hers, there needs to be an accent on llené and it depends if the answer should be mine, his or hers for whether you choose el mío, or el suyo. Hard to know without context,

A: sí, llene lo suyo

I'll leave it there and see if you see the pattern and can attempt the corrections.

I got all the questions right with the exception of llenaste el tanque de su carro. I responded with, "sí, llené el mío," but it shows as wrong. Is the structure correct? - lowridinin64, May 4, 2013
Got it! it was suyo, thanks again really! - lowridinin64, May 4, 2013
Small correction: Llené el suyo (su tanque) - francobollo, May 4, 2013

Did you put the correct accent on the verbs? Some look good except for that. Another thing you got wrong on several is that it isn't "lo nuestro," it would be "el nuestro." On 5, you put suyo when it should be nuestro. On six, it should be "Sí, voy a comprar el tuyo (though it could be suyo if you are using "usted"). 8 looks good, though I think this whole grammar concept sounds a little weird, but I guess it's what they are having you practice. The ones that I didn't mention just seem to just be missing an accent, or is the "lo" to "el" thing.
