Our dog, Snowflake, won the pet show. Our dog wore the gold medal all the way home.
the customs seem alike to ours.
The correct sentence would be: "Are the books theirs or ours?" Note the use of the possessive pronouns "theirs" and "ours" to indicate ownership, as well as the question mark at the end to indicate that it is a question.
"Ours" and "theirs" are pronouns that show possession or ownership. For example, you could say, "The blue car is ours," to indicate that the blue car belongs to us. On the other hand, you could say, "The red house is theirs," to show that the red house belongs to them.
"There" typically refers to a place or location, as in "The store is over there." "Their" shows possession by a group or individuals, as in "Their house is located next to ours."
This is a good sentence, but you should leave out "that". Many clubs help with service projects but we think ours is the best.
The possessive pronoun "ours" does not require an apostrophe because it is just that -- already possessive. The correct sentence would be, "The Robinson's house is on Spring Street, but ours is on Randolph Drive. ____ You would also move the apostrophe after the "s" in "Robinsons," since here you are referring to a group or family with the same last name rather than just one person with that name. The house belongs to the "Robinsons" rather than the "Robinson." The Robinsons' house is on Spring Street, but ours is on Randolph Drive.
That is not yours, it's ours!
he/she/it is ours. I'd be willing to bet that the sentence is referring to the 'it' part of est, though. To comprehend the sentence fully, as you would with any sentence in any language, it requires context clues which you would receive from the text around it.
An apostrophe is used to show possession: the house belongs to the Robinsons; therefore, it is the Robinsons's house. Our house (or ours - no apostrophe) is on Randolph Drive. Randolph is the name of the drive; it doesn't belong to anybody in this sentence. Of course, the sentence should be:"The Robinsons' house is on Spring Street but ours is on Randolph Drive" as "ours" is a possessive but is an exception. Unfortunately the Wiki spell checker doesn't know the correct usage either. Sigh.
The medieval life was somewhat different to ours
We spent hours and hours poring over century-old photographs, only to learn that that family wasn't ours! I hope that the red team will trade their scheduled hours with ours.
