Spanish student learning TENER verb conjugation & POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

Hi,
Would someone have time to let me know if my answers below in capital letters are correct? Gracias!


El verbo tener

Is my answer in capital letters the correct use of the verb tener?

1. Tienes una mascota?
YO NO TENGO UNA MASCOTA.

3. Tienen ustedes una casa privada o un apartamento?
TENEMOS UNA CASA PRIVADA.

4. Tienen ustedes una familia grande?
SI, YO TENGO UNA FAMILIA GRANDE.

5. Yo TENGO quince anos y mi hermana mayor TIENE dieciocho.

7. Jose, TIENES (tu) un perro a un gato?

8. Ellos TIENEN un carro nuevo.

9. La casa TIENE siete cuartos.

10. Nosotros TENEMOS muchos primos.


Los adjetivos posesivos (Complete with the correct possessive adjective)

The possessive adjective I selected is in capital letters. Is it correct?

Yo tengo dos hermanas. MI hermana menor tiene trece anos. Ella tiene una bicicleta. SU bicicleta no es nueva. Es vieja. Nosotros tenemos una casa privada. Detras de NUESTRA casa hay un jardin.
Y tu, tienes hermanos? Son gemelos TUS hermanos? Cuantos anos tiene TU hermano mayor? Tienen ustedes una mascota? Es SUS mascota un perro o un gato?

Mis ,tios Laura y Esteban tienen solamente un hijo. SU hijo es MI primo.

Los padres de mi madre son MIS abuelos y SU otros hijos son mis tios.

I'll only correct the verb and the possessives, but please take into account that the written accent marks are always necessary; they determine how a word is pronounced and they can also change the meaning of words.
Also, the letter "ñ" can never be replaced by "n". For a native speaker it's really annoying to see things like "mi hermana tiene trece anos".
Finally, never forget the opening question and exclamation marks. We do need them to know how to intone the sentence.
You can insert all Spanish characters by using the dropdown "Accents" menu on top of the writing boxes here in the forums.

Attention: The question is using one pronoun (ustedes), but you're answering with another (yo).

Es SUS mascota un perro o un gato?
The possessive must agree with the object possessed; if you are talking about one dog or one cat, the possessive can't be plural.


Los padres de mi madre son MIS abuelos y SU (Only one??) otros hijos son mis tios.
