Questions & Answers about ¿Tienes mis guantes negros?
Why is it mis instead of mi? Doesn't "my" refer to just one person?
Even though "my" refers to one person, Spanish possessive adjectives must match the number of the things being owned. Because guantes is plural, you have to use the plural form mis.
Where is the word for "you" in this sentence?
The word for "you" (tú) is built right into the verb tienes. In Spanish, it is very common to drop the subject pronoun because the verb ending already tells us who is doing the action.
How can I tell if a word like guante is masculine or feminine, since it ends in -e?
Why does the color come after the object (guantes negros)?
In Spanish, descriptive adjectives like colors almost always come after the noun they describe. This is the opposite of English, where we say "black gloves" instead of "gloves black".
