Learn the idea
Possessives and demonstratives describe whose object or which nearby referent is meant. Gustar organizes a preference around the thing liked, so its verb number follows that grammatical subject rather than the person experiencing the preference. The short possessives mi/mis and tu/tus agree in number with what is possessed, not with how many people own it. These forms do not change for the noun’s grammatical gender. Tu as a possessive has no accent.
Read the owner cue and count whether the supplied possessed noun is singular or plural. Select mi/mis for my and tu/tus for the stated tú-style your. Keep the noun unchanged after that possessive.
Tú with an accent names the subject you; tu without it means your. Do not place an extra definite article before mi libro in this basic construction. A plural object requires mis/tus even when there is only one owner.
- Copy the supplied example and underline its speaker, noun, time cue or evidence words.
- Apply the shown language rule; keep any required ending, accent or paired punctuation.
- Solve the changed independent check, then explain why one offered alternative fails.
