Help these hungry roommates sort out their fridge dispute by selecting the correct words.
"Hey! Did someone eat _________________________ leftover pizza?"
"Don't look at me. I ate _________________________ yesterday."
"Well, Sarah is looking guilty. I bet those crumbs on the counter are _________________________."
"Hey! Did someone eat my leftover pizza?"
We use the possessive adjective "my" because it comes right before the noun phrase "leftover pizza" to show who it belongs to.
"Don't look at me. I ate mine yesterday."
We use the possessive pronoun "mine" to replace "my pizza." It stands alone without a noun after it.
"Well, Sarah is looking guilty. I bet those crumbs on the counter are hers."
We use the possessive pronoun "hers" to mean "her crumbs." It stands alone at the end of the sentence.
