Prática rápida (3)

Fill in the blank with the correct form of 'my' (мой/моя/моё).

Это ____ (my) книга.

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: моя
Книга (book) is a feminine noun ending in -а, so it requires the feminine possessive 'моя'.

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Choose the correct way to say 'This is our house':

Perguntas comuns (2)

No. The gender of the speaker doesn't matter. Only the gender of the noun you own matters. A woman says мой телефон because 'телефон' is masculine.
You use его, the same word for 'his'. Russian doesn't have a separate word for 'its' in this context.
