Questions & Answers about ¿Vuestra madre vive con vuestra abuela?
Why do we use vuestra instead of vuestro or vuestras here?
Possessive words in Spanish have to match the gender and number of the thing being owned, not the person who owns it. Because madre and abuela are both feminine and singular (just one mother, just one grandmother), we use the feminine singular form vuestra.
What is the difference between vuestra and tu since they both mean "your"?
If we are talking to a group of people ("you all"), why is the verb vive in the "she" form rather than the "you all" form (vivís)?
Why doesn't this sentence use a word like "Does" to start the question?
Spanish doesn't use helper words like "do" or "does" to make questions. You can just use the normal statement word order and add spoken question intonation, along with the upside-down and regular question marks in writing.
