[Practice Question]

 

わたしのあねはかみ(__)長いです。

*わたしの あねは かみ(__)ながいです。

 

1 も

2 と

3 が

4 に

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Answer]

 

わたしのあねはかみ(3 が)長いです。

My older sister has long hair.

 

 

The key grammar here is:

Person  Body Part  Adjective

 

かみ(__)長いです。

What is long?

→ かみ (hair).

 

 marks what is long.

かみ長いです。

= Her hair is long.

 

Now, add the person we are talking about:

わたしのあねは (=topic)

As for my older sister

 

Person は + Body part  + Adjective

わたしのあね かみ 長いです。

 

In English, we say:

“My older sister has long hair.

 

In Japanese, the idea is:

“As for my older sister, her hair is long.”

 

So, the best answer is 3 が.

 

 

✖Other choices:

1 も

= also / too

We use it to add one more thing.

But there is nothing to add here.

 

2 と

= and / with

 

4 に

= to / at

 

They cannot mark the thing that is “long” here.

 

 

I hope this explanation helps! 😊
