1) We bought that house last year. It is ours
2) This car belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It is theirs.
3) I think, I saw John drop this pen. I think it is his.
4) This book is mine. It has my name on it.
5) My brother and I made that chair. It’s ours.
6) Excuse me. This phone is yours. You forgot to take it with you.
7)Her sister drew the picture. It’s hers.
8) The little boy shouted “Give the ball to me!. It’s mine”.
9) That’s ours. We bought it last night
10) The bicycles were theirs. So they rode them home after school.
11)Yes it’s hers.
12) This is yours- you ordered the pizza.
13) No, it’s not his.
14) I think these keys are mine. I left them on the table.
15) But Susan and Mary can’t find theirs.
I hope you are doing fine. Have you got any news to tell me? You asked me some question and I would like to answer them now. You asked for my opinion about being independent of my parents. I think one can hardly be independent when he or she is under 18. We don't have necessary skills and knowledge to live separately from our parents. Renting a room or a flat can also cost a lot and only our parents can pay for us. What about you? When do you plan to start living separately from your parents? As to leaving parents as soon I finish school, I think I could do it. If I enter a good university with good accomodation, living without my parents would be no problem. Though I think I would miss my home, especially during the first months. Many Russian students who study abroad miss their homes in the beginning. It is not easy to get used to another country and the language. And it can take a lot of time to understand traditions and customs of the new country. Have you ever studied abroad? Do you think you could live far from your home for a long time? OK, so much for today. Write soon.
Best wishes,
Mike.
