Questions & Answers about Sus ojos son bonitos.
Why is it Sus and not Su if it means "Her" (singular)?
In Spanish, possessive adjectives like su and sus match the thing being owned, not the owner. Since she has more than one eye (ojos is plural), you must use the plural sus, even though there is only one person who owns them.
Does Sus always mean "Her"?
No, su and sus can mean "his," "her," "its," "their," or "your" (formal). You usually know which one it means from the context of the conversation.
Why do we use son instead of están for "are"?
Why does bonitos end in "-os"?
Adjectives in Spanish have to match the noun they describe in both gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). Because ojos is masculine and plural, the adjective bonito becomes bonitos.
