💡 Grammar Points

Matching Gender and Number

Mías is used when the things you own are feminine (like llaves or ideas) and there is more than one of them (plural). It must match the thing, not the owner.

Pronoun vs. Adjective

When mías comes after the verb (like son mías), it acts as a pronoun, replacing the noun entirely. This is the most common use.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing 'Mías' and 'Mis'

Mistake: "Mis llaves son míos. (Incorrect agreement)"

Correction: Mis llaves son **mías**. ('Mis' means 'my' and comes before the noun; 'mías' means 'mine' and must match the feminine plural noun 'llaves'.)

⭐ Usage Tips

Using the Article

When you use mías to replace a noun that was already mentioned, add the definite article las (the) before it: 'Tengo mis cosas y tú tienes las mías.'

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'mías' and 'mis'?

**Mías** means 'mine' and is a pronoun used when the thing being owned is feminine and plural (e.g., *Las flores son mías*). **Mis** means 'my' and is a short adjective that always comes immediately before a plural noun (e.g., *Mis flores*).

Does 'mías' ever have an accent mark?

No, the word **mías** does not carry a written accent in Spanish. Even though the 'i' is stressed and forms a separate sound (MEE-ahs), the standard spelling does not require a tilde.
